Donation Policy

Donations help LeShem build a complete educational ecosystem for Haredi students: supporting yeshiva high schools, training and guiding educators, developing curriculum, and helping families give their children both strong Torah values and high-quality academic education.

Every gift helps students gain the skills, confidence, and opportunities to thrive.

There are two ways to give, depending on where you live:

The LeShem website does not collect or process payment details itself.

• United States: donations are made on the website of PEF Israel Endowment Funds, which receives and processes them under its own terms.
• Israel: donations are arranged directly with LeShem's Resource Development team. [Draft: describe the accepted payment methods, e.g. bank transfer]

[Draft: accepted currencies and any known transaction or currency conversion fees, for each pathway]

[Draft: who issues receipts for each pathway, and how and when donors receive them]

Tax treatment depends on where you live and which organization receives your donation. Please do not assume a donation is tax-deductible until this section is completed.

• Israel: [Draft: add only if Section 46 approval is verified]
• United States: [Draft: confirm with PEF Israel Endowment Funds]

We recommend consulting your own tax advisor.

[Draft: state whether donors may direct a gift to a specific program, school, or project, and how such requests are handled] To ask about supporting a particular program, write to office@leshem.org.il.

The LeShem website does not currently offer recurring donations. If you'd like to give regularly, please contact us at office@leshem.org.il.

Because the LeShem website does not collect payment details, card information is entered only on the donation provider's website, such as PEF Israel Endowment Funds. Please check that you are on the provider's official website before entering payment details.

If a donation was made in error or the amount is wrong, contact us as soon as possible at office@leshem.org.il. Full details are in our Donation Refund Policy.

For any question about donating to LeShem, contact Mrs. Sarah Eidel, Resource Development, at office@leshem.org.il.
