Tmura’s primary focus is in the area of education and other youth-related projects that help bridge gaps in Israeli society. Tmura prefers to contribute to projects where it will have an impact and where our involvement is an important contributor to getting a project off the ground.

Please note that Tmura’s grants are made in two installments, with the second installment being transferred to the grantee upon the accomplishment of a pre-defined milestone. At the time of the second installment, all eligibility criteria and documentation listed above must still be in effect.
Please note that only those applications that include the Letter of Inquiry together with all of the above-requested documents will be reviewed.
Tmura will acknowledge receipt of applications, and following review, will contact selected applicants with next steps. Tmura’s Grants Committee will evaluate potential recipients and make grant recommendation to the Board of Directors. Final funding decisions and grant amounts are determined by Tmura’s Board of Directors and are also dependent on funds available for disbursement.
Applications may be sent by email, to [email protected].
Companies that donate options to Tmura are welcome to earmark proceeds from their successful exit to the amuta/amutot of their choice. If your amuta has relationships in the high-tech industry – if your members, supporters, directors, etc. are involved with tech companies as founders, employees, investors, directors, etc. – you are welcome (encouraged!) to reach out and ask them to consider allocating options to Tmura, and to earmark part or all of the future exit proceeds for your amuta. We simply require that at the time of exit, your 46a status and nihul takin are valid.
To make this easier for you, here is some language you may want to use in an email, newsletter, etc.:
“Here’s a unique way for you to support our amuta. If you are involved with any tech companies – as founders, employees, investors, directors, etc. – please consider encouraging the company to donate stock options to Tmura (www.tmura.org), with instructions to donate potential proceeds from a successful exit to [name of amuta]. Tmura has been doing this since 2002 and has received donations of options from hundreds of companies. We would be happy to connect you with Baruch Lipner, Tmura’s Executive Director, who can quickly walk you through the process.”
