Fund for Victims of Terror

Bringing Comfort to Lives in Upheaval

The Jewish Agency for Israel’s Fund for Victims of Terror is emergency aid for those in dire need. To help survivors in the wake of tragedy, we can provide financial assistance in as quickly as 48 hours. We also provide ongoing care to get individuals and families on the road to recovery.

 

Since October 7, 2023, and through the end of 2024, the Fund for Victims of Terror distributed 8,425 emergency grants to victims and families and 3,369 rehabilitation grants.

When tragedy strikes and the future looks uncertain, the emotional toll is unimaginable. The Fund for Victims of Terror seeks to lighten that load in the wake of a crisis by offering financial aid to individuals and families in dire circumstances. Within 48 hours of an event, a representative visits victims and provides emergency aid of more than $1,000 and lets them know they are not alone.

Additionally, through grants and ongoing services totaling up to $6,300, this essential fund covers the months to come. We help survivors receive the care they need—psychological counseling, job retraining, and more—to recover from trauma and rebuild their lives.

Fund for Victims of Terror Providing Crucial Support Amid War With so many Israelis killed and injured during the October 7 attacks and ensuing war, and countless homes and buildings damaged throughout Israeli communities near Gaza, The Jewish Agency’s Fund for Victims of Terror has kicked into high gear, operating on a wider scale than ever before. And we are continuing to deliver more critical support as the war remains ongoing.

“You don’t understand the magnitude of what you’ve done for us. The space you provided allowed us to let go and begin healing. Know that sometimes, moments like these truly save the soul. I have no words beyond immense gratitude: Thank you, thank you, thank you.” –Sister of a hostage survivor who received support from the Fund for Victims of Terror and took part in a November 2024 retreat organized by the Fund.
