Israeli Children’s Fund (ICF), that was founded by a group of Israeli high-tech entrepreneurs and venture capitalists, is a new voluntary initiative focused on providing much-needed help for the countless children who have experienced the trauma of terrorism, lost a parent, or lost their homes during the Hamas attack on October 7 in Israel.

The primary goal of the ICF is to provide financial and emotional support for those from birth to the age of 20, with a fundraising goal of $100 million from donors.Alongside the co-founders, additional partners include Verbit CEO Tom Livne and Eyal Niv, a partner at Pitango, and several more CEOs in the community.

The ICF’s current leadership has raised more than $1.5 billion in commercial and non-profit capacities.All participating companies are volunteering their resources and will serve as virtual mentors and guides for children, leveraging the full strength of the high-tech community.
