Vision

I believe in the power of philanthropy to transform lives and build a more equitable, strong, and inclusive Israeli society. Drawing from over two decades of experience in fundraising, grant writing, and developing donor relationships in Israel and worldwide, I work to transform social vision into tangible resources that enable organizations to create meaningful change.

My vision is to connect organizations working in health, education, welfare, women's empowerment, mental health support, and strengthening underserved communities with philanthropic investors, donors, and foundations in Israel and globally, in a way that is built on trust, professionalism, and meaningful storytelling.

Through precise strategy, inspiring writing, and smart partnerships, I strive to enable every nonprofit and social organization to grow, expand, and positively impact the lives of thousands of people in Israel.

Social Impact – My Areas of Expertise:

Health and Welfare: Organizations operating community health centers, programs for children with chronic illnesses, and medical institutes specializing in treating underserved populations.

Education and Empowerment: Innovative educational institutions, organizations developing special education programs, and nonprofits working to reduce socio-economic gaps.

Mental Health: Organizations operating community mental health centers, prevention and treatment nonprofits, and institutes developing accessible mental health services.

Women's Empowerment: Organizations working with Bedouin women, nonprofits supporting Ethiopian immigrants, and centers for women's economic empowerment.

At-Risk Children and Youth: Nonprofits for prevention and intervention among at-risk youth, youth centers, and organizations operating employment and life skills programs for young people.

Immigration and Integration: Organizations assisting new immigrants in integration processes, nonprofits supporting refugees and asylum seekers, and centers for Hebrew language learning and social integration.

What Makes My Service Unique:

Expertise in crafting compelling narratives that build bridges between the organization's vision and donors' goals. I believe every proposal should tell a moving human story that connects hearts and motivates action.

Extensive experience working with international foundations, Jewish federations in North America, and corporate CSR bodies. I understand the unique language of each donor type and know how to tailor the message accordingly.

Combination of traditional expertise with advanced technological tools, including AI applications for data analysis, donor research, and fundraising process optimization.

I provide comprehensive services for the complete management of fundraising processes, from the stage of identifying needs and defining organizational goals, through concept development and project writing, building tailored fundraising strategies, identifying relevant funding sources, writing applications and project portfolios, to supporting the submission process, managing donor relationships, and securing actual funding. Additionally, I accompany the organization even after receiving funding, in the process of project implementation, managing ongoing reports, and meeting the requirements of supporting bodies.
