What the last gift did

Here Is Where the Money Went.

Before we ask for anything, three things the last gifts paid for. Each one has a place, a person, and a photograph.

  • Cheryl Dorchinsky smiles in the Achim Shuva supply closet, holding a box of protein bars, shelves of crates behind her.

    The Closet at Shuva Junction

    Shuva Junction, near the Gaza border, is where soldiers on their way in and out of Gaza stop for a hot meal and dry socks. In December 2025 our volunteers restocked its supply closet. Cheryl promised they’d be back, and in January they will be.

    The January mission
  • A heap of kosher ducks in knitted hats and bead necklaces, ready to be hidden.

    A Duck in a Rehab Ward

    On the July 2025 mission our volunteers sat with wounded soldiers in rehab. One of them, recovering from a wound he took in Gaza, held one of our ducks and said, “It reminds me HaShem hasn’t forgotten me.”

    Our missions
  • An AIC volunteer packs donated toys into a suitcase for a relief delivery to Israel, January 2024.

    A Box That Reached a Family

    A bat mitzvah project in Atlanta became a delivery of toys to Israeli children in time for Chanukah. On Hearts United, people bought what was needed straight off a wish list, so a specific box reached a specific family. We carry it over ourselves, and we post what we delivered.

  • Monthly is the gift that goes furthest. It keeps the work steady between programs, and it lets us plan. You can give once instead, any time.
  • Every amount says what it pays for: the materials behind a briefing, advocacy training for a group, the security at the door of an evening.
  • Tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. AIC is a registered 501(c)(3), EIN 84-2603211.

Why now

Why this can’t wait.

Three people were murdered in antisemitic attacks in this country in 2025, the first such killings since 2019. Assaults with a deadly weapon went up 39 percent. Here in Georgia, ADL counted 83 incidents, 32 of them in Atlanta, and more vandalism than the state has ever recorded. We still hold our events in the open, and we plan every one for safety: the address goes only to people who’ve registered, and each event gets a security plan that fits it. Your support pays for that.

From the founder

When I ask you for money, I want you to know what the last gift did.

In December our volunteers walked into the supply closet at Shuva Junction, the stop near the Gaza border where soldiers on their way in and out get a hot meal and dry socks, and we filled the shelves. In July a soldier recovering from a wound he took in Gaza held one of our ducks and said, “It reminds me HaShem hasn’t forgotten me.” A bat mitzvah girl in Atlanta decided Israeli kids should have something to open at Chanukah, and we carried the toys over ourselves.

That’s what your gift does. It also pays for the security at the door of every evening we hold, because Jewish gatherings are targets now and we don’t cancel. It pays for the speakers, the briefings, and the materials we put in people’s hands so they walk out able to say what they know.

Nobody at AIC draws a salary, me included. When we fly to Israel we buy our own tickets, so the money raised for relief goes to relief. Give what you can. Then come to an evening and see what it bought.

Transparency & financials
What’s the difference between joining and donating?

A membership gives you something back: the Mitzpe Institute, the members’ side of mitzpe.org, and every Israel Up Close talk free, for as long as you’re a member, from $9 a month. There are no perks attached to a gift, so every dollar is tax-deductible to the extent the law allows. Both pay for the same work.

See membership
Can I give monthly, or just once?

Both. Monthly is the gift that goes furthest. It keeps the work steady between programs and lets us plan ahead instead of raising each campaign from scratch. You get a receipt for every gift and a summary at the end of the year. Rather give once? That’s just as welcome, any time.

How do I change or stop a monthly gift?

Email us at Shalom@atlantaisrael.org, or reply to any receipt we’ve sent you, and we’ll change it or stop the next one.

Can I give in someone’s honor or memory?

Yes. Open “Dedicate this gift” on the form and choose in memory of, in honor of, in celebration of, for the healing of, or in appreciation of. The dedication goes on your receipt. Tell us who to let know and we will, without ever sharing the amount.

Can I mail a check?

Yes. Make it out to Atlanta Israel Coalition, Inc. and mail it to P.O. Box 3902, Alpharetta, GA 30023.

Can I donate stock or appreciated securities?

Yes. A gift of appreciated securities can be tax-smart for you and go further for the work. Write to us and we’ll arrange the transfer.

Will my employer match my gift?

Many employers match charitable gifts, which can double what yours does. Check with your workplace giving program, and ask us if they need our details.

Where does my gift go?

Into the work: community briefings, advocacy training, missions to Israel, and the Kosher Duck Revolution. Every amount on the form names the part of the work it carries, and AIC keeps overhead low.
