Overview

Mission

HaTikva Project is a Yeshua-centered compassion ministry to the nation of Israel, serving Israel's underserved communities with excellence. Our three departments exist to bring hope ("hatikva") through practical care, dignity, and support that reflects the love and compassion of Yeshua.

What it reported doing in 2025

HaTikva Families supports adoption and foster care by providing dedicated support of social workers, income assistance to adoptive families, training and equipping for parents and child care professionals and support and volunteer service to foster organizations and homes.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 98% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
