About
Shivat Zion Israeli Charity Trust
Established in August 2017
Shivat Zion Israeli Charity Trust provides comprehensive support across Israel, with a special focus on developing communities and peripheral areas.
Led by CEO Baruh Meriin and a dedicated team, the Trust is committed to fostering meaningful connections and building a compassionate, stable society.
Following the events of October 2023, we conduct emergency fundraising campaigns to provide security equipment and support to affected communities. We also expand our ambassador system to ensure immediate and direct assistance to those impacted by property, employment, health, and welfare issues.
We provide financial support to soldiers on reserve duty, especially those serving over 150 days since the start of the Iron Swords War. We support various projects for the benefit of security forces and their families, recognizing their significant contribution to national security. We supply reserve battalions with essential personal gear, including winter clothing, tents, and storage facilities for their belongings between service rounds. Additionally, we sponsor hot meals and treats on the field, and participate in battalion events, allowing soldiers and their families to catch up and spend quality time together.
Shivat Zion Trust Emphasizes Individual and Community Welfare
During crises, we offer financial aid to families and individuals, including the elderly, sick, widows, orphans, and single-parent families.
During major holidays such as the High Holidays and Passover, we collaborate with other organizations to distribute financial grants and purchase vouchers to families with special needs children, single mothers, and lone soldiers.
We place a strong emphasis on the welfare of both individuals and communities.
Our initiatives include constructing essential public buildings, such as mikvahs and multi-purpose community centers, which serve as vital hubs for local activities.
We support educational projects for children, youth, and young adults by providing monthly assistance and scholarships to various educational institutions. Our educational programs aim to build personal, family, and community resilience through a value-based framework.
By collaborating with municipalities, local councils, and like-minded organizations, we strive to enhance community resilience and well-being, ensuring our efforts reach those in need across the country.
