Online donation platform offers a better way to do good
JGive, an online non-for-profit donation platform, has launched JGive Platinum, a donor-advised fund (DAF) in Israel. This is the first time such a fund has been introduced in Israel, allowing companies and organizations to donate in a more efficient and rewarding manner. Notable companies like Lightricks and Microsoft already use JGives services. JGive Platinum enables companies to allocate funds for donation, receive tax benefits at the time of deposit, and decide on the actual donation later. The fund also offers investment options to maximize the value of contributions. A minimum initial amount of NIS 36,000 (about $11,000) is required to establish the DAF. JGive has established an investment committee to manage the donations deposited in the fund. The project is supported by various bodies and committees.

http://www.jpost.com/Diaspora/Jgive-study-No-change-in-donations-from-US-Jews-502432
Israeli charities and nonprofits are not seeing any impact on donations from US Jewry following disputes between the Israeli government and American Jewish organizations over prayer arrangements at the Western Wall and the issue of conversion. A study conducted by Jgive.com, an Israeli online donations platform, found that there has been no change in donations compared to previous years. Donors expressed their commitment to Israeli causes and stated that the political debate would not affect their contributions. The head of the Reform Movement in Israel believes that the impact of the disputes will be felt mostly by organizations like AIPAC and Israel Bonds, which may have difficulties reaching out to younger American Jews. In July, a major US Jewish philanthropist suspended his financial support of Israel in light of the government decisions.
