GETTING STARTED

Here's what you need to do to set up your IsraelGives account and start fundraising.

  • 1 First, Register for IsraelGives, and set up your account

    Register Now

    Once you're registered, there are a few things that you'll need to upload

    • You'll enter your organization's bank account information.
    • Then, you'll download a hora'at keva form, which can either be signed by your bank, or done online. This form ensures that if a donation is cancelled after we've already transferred you the funds (and we aren't holding any future funds in credit), we can refund ourselves the donation.
    • There are also 2 other bank forms that you'll need to complete and have a lawyer sign. These forms add your organization as a beneficiary in IsraelGives' trusteeship bank account (חשבון נאמנות), into which we receive donations.

  • 2 Second, Decide how you'd like to receive donations in Israeli Shekels

    There are 3 ways that we can process Israeli donations for you:

    Option One
    IsraelGives Independent

    You provide us with a credit card account that you've already set up (with Isracard or Visa CAL), we connect it to our system, and then all donations that you receive are deposited directly into your bank account.

    Option Two
    IsraelGives Classic

    We help you to set up a credit card account with Isracard, and we'll handle all of the bookkeeping and bank reconciliation for you.

    Option Three
    IsraelGives 48 hours

    We'll help you to set-up a special credit card processing account, where your donations are deposited into your bank account 48 hours after they're made.

  • 3 Decide how you'd like to receive International Donations
    If you have your own "Friends of" organization in countries like the U.S., click here.
    If you have your own "Friends-of" organization abroad, we can connect the entire IsraelGives platform to each one of your international partners, depositing donations right into their own bank account, and issuing a tax-receipt in their name. You define the currencies that you'd like to send to each partner. So for example, when a donor enters into your donation form:

    • If they select "U.S. dollars" as the currency, the donation is deposited into the American bank account of your "American Friends of" organization, and a U.S. 501c3 tax-receipt issued in the name of the organization.
    • If they select "Canadian dollars" as the currency, the donation is deposited into the Canadian bank account of your "Canadian Friends of" organization, and a Canadian CRA-approved PDF tax-receipt issued in the name of the organization.
    • If they select "Israeli Shekels" as the currency, the donation is sent directly to you, the Israeli non-profit organization

    IsraelGives can connect to any country in the world, and process in 17 global currencies.

    If you need a partner for issuing tax-deductible receipts to donors in the U.S., U.K., and Canada, click here.
    If you don't have your own "Friends of" organization abroad, IsraelGives can help. We operate non-profit organizations abroad and so we can issue tax-receipts to your donors from the U.S., Canada, and U.K. for all donations made on our donation platform (we also accept donations by check, bank transfer, and stock).
    • In the U.S. we partner with "America Gives" (also known as "American Support for Israel"), a U.S. 501c3 non-profit organization (EIN: 26-3383926)
    • In Canada we partner with "Canada Charity Partners", a CRA-recognized Charity (CRA No. 818335390RR0001)
    • In the U.K. we partner with "UK Gives", a British charity (Charity No. 1161366)

    You'll first need to be approved by each partner, in order to receive tax-deductible donations. To learn more about what you'll need to do, and about international fundraising with IsraelGives, click here.
  • 4 Create a Donation Form, Email Confirmation, and Tax-Receipt
    First, create a donation form. There are two types to choose from
    Create a branded MYSITE donation form that looks and feels like your own website
    Or accept donations right from your own website by installing the form as an iframe
    To learn more about our donation form options, click here.
    Then, create an email confirmation and tax-receipt (optional)

    After you've created your form, you'll create an email confirmation. This is what your donor will receive by email after they've successfully made a donation, using your donation form, your FundMe campaign, your JoinMe campaign, or any of our fundraising tools.


    • You can create different email confirmations for English and for Hebrew
    • You can create different email confirmations for different currencies
    • You can create different email confirmations for different projects and campaigns
    • And you can create different combinations. For example, a English receipt, for Israeli Shekels, for your Passover campaign

    Then, if you like, for your Israeli Shekel donations, we can include as an attachment to the email an Israeli tax-receipt (PDF). Meaning, that you'll won't have to send receipts to any of your online donors, ever. To learn more about our e-receipting program, click here.
