Why does ‘Derech Eretz’ Need my support?
Derech Eretz is partially supported by the Israeli government. While program participants do pay tuition, it covers only a small portion of our operations. That’s why we are so grateful to our partners—foundations, businesses, federations, and individual supporters—whose generosity enables us to continue the important work of the organization.
Can I donate to a specific program?
With pleasure! You’re welcome to choose a specific area or project you’d like to support—for example, scholarships or a particular mechina (pre-army academy) or Term of Service Support program etc…. Feel free to contact us, and we’ll make sure your donation is directed to the project or area of your choice.
Is all the money I donate allocated to the organization’s activities, or do you pay commissions?
100% of every donation goes towards the activities of Derech Eretz. We do not pay any fees for fundraising.
Are there other ways to donate besides monetary contributions?
Of course! There are many other ways to donate, including donating equipment, sponsoring events, or volunteering as a guest speaker in various fields. You can also become our "ambassador" and follow us on social media.
