Round-Up Israel is a non-profit organization founded in 2008. Round-up aims to bring about a change in the culture of charitable giving in Israel, by providing a mechanism to allow the general public to give strategically, easily and habitually.
Round Up enables credit card users to give a permanent standing order to ‘round-up’ each of their uneven transactions to the nearest rounded amount-Shekel. For instance: buying a dress which costs 74.6 shekels will be charged in 75 shekels. The extra 40 Agorot will be directed to a charity of their choice, from a list of selected charities provided by Round-Up. No fee is collected along the way from the donor by the charity. 100% charity. The order can be given in pay slips as well by rounding down the net amount to the nearest multiple 5/10/20 NIS. When registering to the service, the donor is asked to choose up to three destinations for the donation.

The committee bases its choices on the performance and transparency of the organization
