Gal Gadot's $3m. Genesis Prize initiative funds 24 Israeli mental health and trauma care NGOs
Recipients include Make-A-Wish Israel, United Hatzalah, and CareGivers Israel. The grants will support treatment, trauma counseling, caregiver training, and social work services.
The Genesis Prize Foundation has announced a $3 million initiative to fund 24 Israeli nonprofit organizations that provide mental health treatment and trauma care. The initiative was directed by the 2026 Genesis Prize laureate, Gal Gadot, who used her $1 million award to support these organizations following the October 7, 2023, attacks and subsequent wars.
A matching campaign led by Jewish Funders Network contributed an additional $2 million in private and corporate donations. The grants will support treatment, trauma counseling, caregiver training, and social work services. The initiative prioritizes organizations that serve mental health professionals, frontline workers, educators, social workers, family caregivers, children, survivors of war and combat trauma, and underrepresented communities across northern, southern, and central Israel.
