The Tel Aviv Foundation works in partnership with the Municipality of Tel Aviv-Jaffa which sets the priority projects through Mayor Ron Huldai and the City Council who provide matching funds (usually dollar-for-dollar) for nearly every project.  Hear, in their own words, from some of the children, families and seniors who have benefitted from these projects and programs.

“It is my best day.”   Tomer says with tears in his eyes when learning that Tel Aviv Foundation will provide him with a scholarship towards his college degree.  He was formerly a Security Guard, worked towards his teaching certificate and is now working towards his degree but doesn't have the money for classes as he is supporting his mother, his family.

"She is not scared of me and all the time wants to be with me, not like others." Daniel, an autistic child, said about the goat he is feeding at a Tel Aviv Foundation-supported program providing animal therapy for children with special needs.

“For us it is like a medicine.  We wait all week for Café Europa.”  Sappora, on a program the Tel Aviv Foundation supports at 4 different centers on Sunday evenings, where Holocaust survivors come to eat, joke, talk and dance.                     

“I feel like it is my home.  If I couldn’t come here I would have asked them to find me a place just like here.”  11-year old Zelicha says of the Home Environment Center she attends every day after school, established by the Tel Aviv foundation.  Most children there come from single-parent dysfunctional families and the Home Environment Center is one of the only places they feel safe.
