From the beginning, 44 Ventures and its companies have worked closely with nonprofit organizations.
About Appleseeds
For over 20 years we have worked to reduce the digital gap in Israeli society in three main areas: employment, youth, and digital lifestyle. More than 1.3 million Israelis lack digital orientation, 900,000 children lack consistent after-school enrichment, and following COVID-19 there is a generation of job seekers who have no certainty about their future. As the dependence on digital skills grows, the economic and social gaps between those with technological capabilities and those who lack them have widened to a degree that now threatens the health, prosperity, and very fabric of Israeli society.
Appleseeds promotes digital equality in Israel by developing and implementing programs in the fields of technology employment, life and leadership skills development for youth, and digital literacy for underserved populations. By making technology accessible to the periphery, Appleseeds is actively helping to reduce socio-economic disparities in Israel and to make it a Startup Nation for All.
Appleseeds is proud to be an integral part of the City of Ramla. In 2017, Appleseeds established a social-technological campus in the city, which serves as the organization’s headquarters, as well as a Social Tech Hub for young entrepreneurs, advanced technological training, and the surrounding community.
About Nifgashim
Nifgashim is a non-political mass movement established in 2022 by leading young entrepreneurs from across the diverse spectrum of Israeli society, based on the understanding that what unites us is greater than what divides us.
The movement works to strengthen unity and trust between different sectors of Israeli society and the Jewish people, while leading national missions that advance resilience, solidarity, and shared responsibility.
Following the events of October 7, Nifgashim established the largest reservists community in Israel. Since then, the movement has been supporting tens of thousands of reservist families across the country.
Our mission is to bring the spirit of unity, leadership, and Zionism embodied by Israel’s reservists – who represent a model society – from the battlefield into civilian life, strengthening Israeli society as a whole.
Nifgashim is supported by a diverse leadership forum of senior figures from the business, social, and media sectors who work together to help shape a stronger shared future for Israel and the Jewish people.
About Ofanim
For more than two decades, Ofanim has brought the power of science, technology, engineering, and math to children in Israel’s most remote communities. Through our STEM on Wheels mobile labs, high-tech classrooms that roll into neighborhoods where opportunity rarely arrives, 64,000 children have already discovered a world of possibility.
As educational gaps continue to widen, the need for accessible, high-quality STEM education has never been more relevant. Ofanim’s innovative model transforms barriers into bridges, turning curiosity into capability and potential into achievement.
Our mission goes beyond teaching STEM- it’s about opening doors to new futures, creating moments of success, and igniting in every child the spark of curiosity and the confidence to dream big.
