Financial Support

Investing in the protectors of our homeland.​

FIDF funds programs for combat soldiers aimed at alleviating financial stress, economic insecurity, or distraction, allowing their minds to focus entirely on the complex military missions at hand. Other programs target the individual financial needs of specific units, while providing meaningful direct contact between soldiers and their unit’s donors.

Financial Support

Adopt a Brigade

Adopt a Brigade

The Adopt a Brigade program personally connects a donor with a brigade of choice to provide critical support to the entire brigade. For a full brigade, typically comprising 2,000 to 4,000 soldiers, donors care for the welfare needs of its soldiers through food vouchers and direct grants, and care for the emotional well-being of its soldiers through a commander discretionary fund.

Adopt a Battalion

Adopt a Battalion

The Adopt a Battalion program benefits a single battalion of choice comprised of approximately 350 soldiers with funds dedicated to both their financial welfare and their emotional well-being. The program offers donors a unique opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with the adopted soldiers.

Personal Necessities Vouchers

Personal Necessities Vouchers

Food vouchers for the purchase of food and other necessities address the acute financial distress of soldiers living below the poverty line, as well as Lone Soldiers who lack familial support. These vouchers can be redeemed at supermarkets, pharmacies, and military grocery stores. Soldiers from families who live just above the poverty line qualify for Gray Zone vouchers.

Soldier Recharge

Soldier Recharge

Through the Soldier Recharge program, FIDF supporters can offer entire units of IDF combat the opportunity to recharge and recuperate from combat at a retreat center away from their crushingly stressful day-to-day operational duties. Through group therapy, mental health professionals screen for early warning signs of distress and promptly address them as needed. In addition to its focus on mental health, the program boosts morale and strengthens bonds among soldiers, fostering a deeper sense of mission and purpose. The Soldier Recharge program is typically a week-long program. The intensity of the current war necessitates a truncated program that lasts 24-30 hours.

Serving in the IDF seemed financially impossible because I needed to work to support my family. There aren’t enough words to express my gratitude.
