Friends of the IDF (FIDF) is the sole organization authorized by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to collect charitable contributions on behalf of its soldiers across the U.S. As a leader in connecting Americans to Israel through our support of Israel’s soldiers, we invite you to contribute towards the transformative programs that care for their wellbeing, education, and welfare.
The brave men and women of the IDF risk their lives to serve and protect Israel - and the Jewish people worldwide. FIDF stands by the IDF soldiers wherever they are, and is committed to supporting them during times of increased tension as well as times of stability. As our slogan goes: their job is to look after Israel, ours is to look after them. FIDF not only supports the soldiers of the IDF, but also builds deep bonds and lasting connections between communities in North America and in Israel - the homeland for all the Jewish people.
FIDF has consistently received the highest ratings for accountability and transparency from two of the leading independent charity evaluators: Charity Navigator and Charity Watch. FIDF received the highest 4-star rating from Charity Navigator for the 11th year in a row now-a feat accomplished by only 2% of charities in America, and Charity Watch has bestowed FIDF with their "Top-Rated" seal.
FIDF has more than 150,000 loyal supporters, and 25 chapters throughout the U.S. and Panama.
