ONE Family Fund
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ONE Family Fund is an Israeli philanthropic organization that helps victims of terror through networking and monetary donations.
The organization was founded by the Belzberg family in response to a 2001 Palestinian terrorist attack on a Jerusalem pizzeria that killed 15 people. The organization says it has distributed $12.2 million to more than 2,200 victims and families of victims since its founding.
Among the group's donors is football (soccer) star Ronaldinho.
The group has representatives in the United States, England, Canada, Belgium and France.
The organization's board of directors includes author Jonathan Kellerman, Canadian politician Irwin Cotler and three members of the Belzberg family.
