Magbit Foundation's update on the Israel Aid Fund
Your Generosity in Action
Dear Supporters,
Thanks to your incredible generosity, our 33rd Annual Gala on May 8, 2025, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, was an overwhelming success.
Together, we raised a record-breaking $3 million — funds that are already transforming lives across Israel.
How Your Support Is Making an Impact
The Magbit Israel Aid Fund, directed by the Iron Swords Emergency Distribution Committee, ensures every dollar reaches impacted individuals and families who need the support desperately, especially those who have received little or no government aid.
This all-volunteer committee includes senior officers from Israel’s Ministry of Defense, among them three Brigadier Generals, officers from the Ministry of Welfare, as well as Social Security Officers in charge of hundreds of field social workers who personally identify and assist the most urgent cases.
“No one should be left behind — and thanks to your support, Magbit Foundation is ensuring they’re not.”
Real Lives You've Helped Rebuild
When Dana, a young mother from the south, lost her husband in the early days of the Iron Swords War, she was left alone with two small children and no home to return to. Within days, Magbit’s Israel Aid Fund stepped in, providing immediate financial assistance, temporary housing, and trauma support. Today, Dana’s children are back in school, and she’s training for a new career, rebuilding her life with dignity and hope.
Your generosity made that possible.
Direct Humanitarian Aid Has Already Reached:
Wounded IDF soldiers and bereaved families
Widows and orphans of fallen IDF soldiers
Survivors of the Nova Festival and their families
Families of hostages from the October 7 attacks
Evacuees and displaced families across Israel
Families who lost homes in the Iran-Israel War (June 2025)
Since June, we’ve also provided emergency relief to 17 families who lost loved ones and homes — long before government aid became available.
Your support has provided:
Financial and housing assistance
Mental health and trauma counseling
Educational and after-school programs for children
Job training and mentorship
Together, we are bringing hope, stability, and dignity back to families in crisis.
Thanks to your incredible generosity, as of July 2025, 8.6 Million Shekels has been distributed to families of hostages, bereaved families, injured soldiers, students, and others impacted by the Iron Swords War. Every dollar is making a tangible difference—supporting healing, education, and resilience.

Join us in healing the wounded soldiers, bereaved families, widows, orphans, evacuees, and trauma survivors across Israel.
Every gift makes an immediate, tangible impact.
