One narrow job: get small equipment to IDF ground-forces units at the speed a civilian takes for granted.
Inside the ground forces there are units whose work is technical: prototyping fixtures, repairing what the field breaks, adapting commercial gear to jobs nobody planned for. Spend time around them and one pattern repeats. The blocker is almost never ability. It is a ₪900 part, a specific tool, a printer the requisition system will deliver a quarter from now.
This fund was set up to close that specific gap. It is not trying to re-equip an army and it is not a general war-effort charity. It buys the small thing, this week, so the work keeps moving.
The fund is run by Aryeh Lev Mason, working directly with personnel in innovation-focused IDF units. As it grows, advisors from inside those units will be named here, as far as security allows.
No staff, no office, no paid fundraising. Payment-processing fees are the only cost taken out of donations; the rest goes to purchases.
The fund operates as an independent initiative, and donations are not tax-deductible. Charitable frameworks in the US and UK were not written for foreign military equipment, and we would rather be clear about that than creative. If a workable structure appears, it will be announced here first.
Every purchase is reported after delivery: item, cost, what it fixed. Unit names, locations, personnel identities, and open equipment gaps never appear on this site.
