Our founders have worked with exceptional organizations that are truly changing lives for the better and the following reflects a brief description on the projects we did with some of these organizations:

929

929’s mission is to share Judaism across all sectors of Israeli society and address the most relevant issues through a comprehensive Jewish prism. We worked with their leadership to define their strategic plan for the coming years, translate it into specific execution initiatives, define performance metrics and build the execution roadmap to deliver against the strategy.

Leket Israel

Leket is the largest food collection organization in Israel, collecting unused produce in the fields to distribute among hundreds of approved organizations feeding the needy. We worked with their leadership to design a growth plan to double the volume collected, while growing their fundraising capacity to provide the required resources.

Start-Up Nation Central

Start-Up Nation Central is an independent non-profit that builds bridges to Israeli innovation. They connect business, government, and NGO leaders from around the world with Israeli innovation, offering Israeli innovators access to high-potential and previously inaccessible markets, through highly customized business engagements and proprietary data.

Mizrachi is the global Religious Zionist movement, spreading Torat Eretz Yisrael across the world and strengthening the bond between the international Jewish community and the State of Israel. We worked with their leadership and board to refine their mid-term strategy and strengthen collaborations with related organizations

Maoz

Maoz is a leadership development and network organization. We worked with their leadership to create transparency on the organization, interview 100+ stakeholders to form a 360 view of the organization’s strengths and improvement opportunities, assess the impact of its multiple programs, evaluate ways to strengthen this impact, and develop a set of improvement initiatives.

Tzohar

Tzohar established a kashrut service in order to allow more business owners to provide kosher food with ease. We worked with their leadership to assess the market potential for their services, understand customer and consumer preferences and design a growth plan to reach hundreds more food businesses. We worked with their funders to help strengthen the organization’s leadership, processes and performance management.
