GIVING TO ISRAEL

Is my donation tax-deductible?

Yes! IsraelGives partners with national nonprofit foundations to insure that your donation is tax-deductible. When you donate through IsraelGives, your donation will be made to this partner foundation that will then issue you a tax-receipt for the full amount of your donation. The funds will be transferred to the non-profit cause you recommened.

In the U.S., our national partner is America Gives , also known as American Support for Israel (EIN: 26-3383926). In Canada, we partner with Canada Charity Partners (CRA 818335390RR0001) and in the UK we partner with UK Gives (charity number 1161366).

How can I donate?

"Recommending"

Notice that we use the word "recommend" when talking about the Israeli charity to whom you are donating. That's because the IRS does not permit donors to "instruct" only "recommend" how your donation should be used. When you donate, the board of our national partner evaluates your recommendation, reviewing to ensure that the organization that you are donating towards has been approved to work with us, and meets our and the IRS' legal standards. Every organization featured on the IsraelGives website have been reviewed and pre-approved by America Gives; However, if, for whatever reason, we cannot respect the recommendation of which organization you'd like the funds to go towards, we will promptly return you the donation (we will never transfer it to a different organization).
