From application to allocation

the best way to donate money to Israel!

1

Application

Each program has its own application process and criteria, commensurate with the level of help requested. Applicants submit documents, references, and letters of recommendation.
2

Review & Vetting

Every application is reviewed by at least two team members. If an applicant is eligible for a program, the application goes through three rounds of vetting to determine how much to allocate. For urgent cases—like a child in need of dental care or a family facing eviction—a special committee meets every two weeks for quicker review.

Local Partnerships

We work with Gabbaei Tzedakah—trusted local leaders who know their communities deeply. They help identify the most discreet and desperate cases that meet our specifications, including families who would never ask for help themselves. They also help distribute the funds during peak seasons.
When I come across a family that’s struggling but too proud to accept help, I tell them the support is coming from B’ezri—even if it isn’t. Because something about B’ezri—the name, the way they operate—makes it easier for people to say yes. It allows families to accept help without feeling like they’ve lost something in the process."
—GABBAI TZEDAKAH, NEVE YAAKOV, JERUSALEM
