Who are we?
Israel Friends is a locally led, globally backed network solving real-world problems for those who defend the Jewish state. From battlefield trauma to home front resilience, Israel Friends identifies real needs and scales solutions—from cutting-edge mental health care and strategic logistics to protective systems and lifesaving technology—operating with startup speed while partnering with government, civil society, and global allies to protect Israel today and strengthen Israel for tomorrow.
We work closely with trusted nonprofits, local organizations, and an expansive global network of supporters. By combining dynamic problem-solving with out-of-the-box solutions, we address the most pressing challenges facing Israel’s heroes, first responders, and communities.
Together, we are saving lives, restoring hope, and delivering critical aid and protective support to Israel’s heroes.
