About IsraelGives

IsraelGives.org and IsraelToremet.org are operated by IsraelToremet Ltd., Israel’s leading provider of online fundraising services. IsraelToremet offers non-profit organizations with a unique combination of technology, expertise, and international partner organizations, to provide you with all of the necessary tools for fundraising success.

IsraelGives was founded by Yonatan Ben-Dor, a Canadian immigrant to Israel, with the support of Joseph Gitler. an American-born philanthropist and social entrepreneur. Yonatan and Joseph previously worked together to develop Leket Israel (formerly Table to Table), now one of Israel’s leading non-profit organizations, and for which Joseph serves as Chairman of the Board. With Table to Table, Yonatan was Israel's first online fundraiser, and helped the organization to create the country's most successful online fundraising operation. Based on the knowledge and experience gained at Table to Table, Yonatan and Joseph decided that other organizations could - and should - benefit as well, for online fundraising was at its core not just a way to raise new funds for important social activities, but a way to involve the public - both Israeli and international - in the life of Israel's civil society and non-profit sector. 

IsraelGives.org launched in Beta in July 2009 to the non-profit public. Its public launch followed in November 2009 with a full-page article in Israel's Haaretz newspaper, profiling the organization. Within 3 months, IsraelGives.org had become Israel's leading charity portal. To June 2011, over $2.5 million had been donated through IsraelGives.org, with a growth of 30% every month.
