The Home for Social Start-Ups

Someone to think through the next step with

Since 2012, Alumot has founded and operated innovative social ventures across Israel, advancing people with disabilities, older adults and at-risk populations in welfare, education, health, resilience and community. The nonprofit gives entrepreneurs a complete organizational and financial home, so they can focus on the venture and the social change rather than on bureaucracy. Since October 7th, Alumot has also become home to many ventures of rehabilitation, resilience and support for those affected by the war.
