School Projects
One of Judaism’s most important values is giving back. You can dedicate a school project to caring for the young men and women of the Israel Defense Forces who protect the Jewish homeland.
Through your school project, you can provide Israel’s heroes with a variety of support:
- A warm Shabbat meal for a soldier and his/her family
- A flight home for a Lone Soldier to visit his/her family abroad
- A college scholarship for a former combat soldier
- Summer camp for the child of a fallen soldier
- A food voucher for a soldier in-need
Ways you can fundraise, while having fun!
- Ride in a bike-a-thon
- Launch a social media campaign
- Hold a cook-off
- Throw a party with visiting soldiers
- Walk the catwalk in a fashion show
In a few easy steps, you can set up your own online fundraising page:
Step 1: Pick your platform
If you have a Facebook account, you can start a fundraiser on Facebook and share your campaign with friends directly on Facebook. Alternatively, you can create a webpage using JustGiving, a peer-to-peer fundraising platform.
Step 2: Set up your campaign
Write your personal story about why you are choosing FIDF. Tell your friends about the program that you are dedicating your fundraiser to. Then pick a photo. You can use your own, or choose any from the FIDF website:
– Hover over the photo of your choice
– Right-click your mouse
– Click “save image as”
– Upload when creating your campaign on Facebook or JustGiving fundraising page
Step 3: Share your campaign!
Publicize your project to your family and friends to secure support for Israel’s brave men and women in uniform. Either post your Facebook fundraiser, or email the link to your JustGiving page. Your friends and family will have the opportunity to comment, contribute, and share.
