AMERICAN FRIENDS OF SCHNEIDER CHILDRENS MEDICAL CENTER OF ISRAEL

American Friends of Schneider Children’s Medical Center of Israel is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) public charity created to raise philanthropic support for Schneider Children’s Medical Center of Israel, the country’s leading stand‑alone pediatric hospital. The organization solicits and directs donations in the United States to fund advanced research, family-centered care, facility expansion, and programs that are not covered by government healthcare funding.

American Friends of Schneider focuses fundraising on capital projects, translational research, specialized clinical programs, and comprehensive family support services that improve outcomes for children across Israel and the region. As a donor-facing American partner to Schneider Children’s, it maintains an active web presence and donor engagement programs to connect U.S. supporters with the hospital’s mission.

In recent years the organization supported major hospital growth and emergency-response operations — including the July 2023 opening of a major expansion (the Glass Building) that doubled clinical and family-care space, and sustained uninterrupted pediatric care during regional security crises by operating Schneider Children’s fortified emergency complex and returning patients to wards after prolonged emergency operations.
