The Kiryat Gat Foundation was established in 1995 by Ze’ev Boim with the mission to initiate, develop, and promote social services and projects in Kiryat Gat, improving the quality of life for the city’s residents in education, welfare, culture, health, and environmental sustainability.
Over the past 29 years, the foundation has partnered in numerous diverse initiatives and projects benefiting Kiryat Gat residents. It continues to share the city’s vision, extending its impact to the broader region as the city grows and thrives.
To achieve its goals, the Kiryat Gat Foundation works closely with donors from Israel and abroad, raising funds and fostering collaborations to address the dynamic and evolving needs of the city.
Kiryat Gat is undergoing significant transformation, positioning itself as a city full of opportunities. Its proximity to Highway 6, a vast and thriving industrial area with factories like Intel, Iscur, Osem, Shalon, and hundreds more, alongside its strategic location, makes it a central hub of Israeli industry, attracting residents from across the country.
