Self-generated funding ventures accounts for approximately 40% of the Center's annual operating budget. The Israeli Government supplies nearly a third of our budget. We also reach out to a wide variety of foundations, federations, private and corporate partners both in Israel as well as abroad.
Self-generated Funding
The Center’s model for fiscal responsibility includes nearly a third of our general budget funding to be self-generated. Many years we exceed that amount, with an average of 40% of our general operating budget being self-generated. To accomplish this, we have created paid services specifically geared for corporations, such as our Sexual Harassment in the Workplace training, which is government mandated for all large work-settings. Additionally, our well-established events, such as our annual summer benefit concert or our fashion bazaar weekend, which has cultivated a following of over 700 top designers, hundreds of bazaar volunteers and thousands of bargain hunters, goes entirely towards survivors’ services. While the self-generated funding paradigm requires an immense amount of time and energy from our staff/volunteers, it also produces greater organizational agility and programmatic flexibility. For example, when our professionals perceive a need within the field we can immediately explore how best to aid survivors, quickly enacting essential steps forward rather than having to wait on external funding.
Beyond their importance for fundraising, our self-generated ventures and events also serve as a platform to raise awareness regarding sexual assault in Israel as thousands of Israelis otherwise unconnected with the Center learn more about the social phenomenon of sexual violence and prevention.

Benefit Concerts
Our yearly benefit concerts, which feature performances from famous Israeli artists are also heavily attended by people who are not always informed regarding sexual assault issues or the Center’s programming. These events invite our donors to have the opportunity to view the extensive work that the Center undertakes while enjoying themselves in a festive atmosphere together with the Center's staff, volunteers and supporters.
National and Municipal Governmental funding
Through our years of interactions with the Israeli government both on a national and municipal level, we have fostered an enduring connection with various ministries and agencies. The government has come to value our work and has expressed its commitment to the Center in numerous ways, including funding.
Foundations and Federations
The Center continues to appeal to numerous foundations and Federations, both in Israel and abroad, for grant funding. Approximately 24% of our yearly budget comes from foundations and federations.
Private and Corporate donors
The Center is grateful for the support it has received from various private and corporate donors over the years.
