WHO WE ARE

Rashi is an independent private foundation dedicated to assisting the underprivileged in Israel's geographic and social periphery, particularly children, youth and young adults.

WHAT WE DO

We work to drive social mobility and to narrow the opportunity gaps in the education and welfare systems of Israel, thereby strengthening the country's social fabric.

HOW WE DO IT

Over the years we perfected our unique approach of hands-on philanthropy and strategic partnership into a proven model for achieving sustainable impact.

EARLY START FOR SOCIAL MOBILITY

The Springboard to Social Mobility plan was initiated in order to further Rashi Foundation's efforts to drive social mobility and equal opportunity in Israel by inspiring policy change.

The first stage in this campaign focuses on early childhood, and particularly on expansion of the State's responsibility for education and care in the crucial first years of life.

We believe that closing social gaps should start with a national policy that provides all Israeli children with access to excellent, state-supervised and subsidized education from birth.
