Fund for Victims of Terror

Since its creation in [2003], the Fund has delivered more than [20,000 emergency] and rehabilitation grants to help victims rebuild their lives. That includes over 11,797 grants distributed since October 7 alone – the staggering increase reflecting the scale of devastation from that day.

The Fund also enables emergency relief across 23 regional councils and provides dedicated help to hostages, bereaved families, and those who have lost homes or livelihoods. From supplying hearing aids and clothing to reconstructing emotional wellbeing, every dollar is put to vital use.

In the wake of the October 7 attacks, the Fund for Victims of Terror mobilised with unprecedented speed and scale. Within just 48 hours, thousands of families across Southern Israel received emergency grants to cover urgent needs like shelter, clothing, food, and funeral costs. As the scope of the trauma became clear, the Fund expanded its efforts to include long-term rehabilitation, psychological care, and resilience programs for victims of all ages. From the Nova festival survivors to families in the Gaza envelope, and from returned hostages to those coping with the loss of loved ones, the Fund has been a lifeline when it’s been needed most.
