About Hatashstit
Thousands of social organizations in Israel strive to create a more equitable and compassionate society. Often, these organizations need support to strengthen their activities and expand their impact. This support includes management, resource development, and financial operations.
ISC assists these organizations by combining professional expertise, practical experience, and a social mission to provide a comprehensive framework tailored to their needs. Our model is based on hands-on partnerships with organizations.
We aim to help them address daily challenges in a practical and focused way, rather than providing theoretical consulting.
The support we offer integrates strategic planning, process optimization, and the development of financial capabilities. We believe that strengthening organizational infrastructure is key to meaningful social action that reduces disparities and enhances quality of life and community resilience in Israel.
