Israel Committee
What we do
We raise money for MyIsrael. Which is a charity created to enhance the lives of people in need and to make the experience of giving meaningful to you, the donor. They believe that this way, you’ll find more reasons to give and transform even more lives in Israel.
They have carefully selected a broad range of causes in Israel, so that each of you, whatever your reason for giving, will find something that resonates. We distribute ALL the funds you donate directly to the causes you choose. And we feedback so that you know exactly how your support has transformed lives.
We make giving personal so you know where your money is going and can be sure it is truly making a difference. We hope that this will encourage you to become a regular supporter of Myisrael and to connect to one or more of our under-the-radar causes. Next time you’re in Israel, we’d love to organise a personal visit so that you can see with your own eyes their remarkable work in action.
