FIDF was established in 1981 by a group of holocaust survivors as a 501(C)(3) not-for-profit organization with the mission of providing and supporting educational, social, cultural,
and recreational programs and facilities for the heroic men and women of the IDF.
Today, FIDF has more than 120,000 loyal supporters, and 15 regional offices throughout the U.S. and Panama.
