What your support helps fund.
From advanced injury detection and hearing protection to early drone warning for soldiers in the field, Iron Support helps fund practical aid that protects, sustains, and strengthens Israel's defenders. 🇮🇱

Tactical Navigation Systems
Getting lost or disoriented can quickly become life-threatening. Tactical navigation systems help soldiers navigate unfamiliar terrain, maintain situational awareness, and coordinate movement with greater confidence—reducing unnecessary exposure and helping bring them home safely.
Patrol Medic Trauma Kits
Patrol medic trauma kits place advanced lifesaving medical equipment directly into the hands of those providing immediate care, helping stabilize wounded soldiers until they can reach higher levels of medical treatment.
Handheld Emergency Field Ultrasound
Handheld field ultrasound units allows medics to assess internal injuries directly in the field, helping them identify life-threatening conditions, make informed treatment decisions, and prioritize patients before they reach a hospital. By bringing advanced diagnostic capabilities closer to the point of injury, it helps improve the speed and quality of emergency care when it matters most.
Reconnaissance Drone Systems
Reconnaissance drones allow soldiers to identify threats, search dangerous areas, and assess situations from a safe distance before anyone is exposed to unnecessary risk. By seeing danger before walking into it, these systems help protect lives and improve battlefield safety.
Hearing Protection & Communication Systems
Damaged hearing has life-changing consequences. Hearing protection & communication systems allow soldiers to hear critical instructions while protecting their hearing from gunfire and explosions, helping teams stay connected, coordinated, and safe under pressure.
Portable Drone Detection Systems
Small enemy drones have become one of the most significant dangers facing frontline soldiers. Portable drone detection systems provide early warning of nearby drone activity, giving troops valuable time to seek cover, reposition, or respond before they are detected or targeted.
Equipment shown represents illustrative examples of the types of support your donation helps fund. Donations are unrestricted and are directed by our charitable partner toward the highest verified operational need. Donations do not purchase or reserve any specific item. Equipment, models, pricing, and availability vary. See our Donation Policy and Terms of Use.

Because freedom has always depended on ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
Because freedom has always depended on ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
When Israel goes to war, thousands of reservists leave behind their families, careers, and everyday lives to answer a call few will ever hear. They carry the burden of defending an entire nation—but they shouldn't carry it alone. Iron Support exists so that anyone, anywhere in the world, can stand beside them in a meaningful way.
Your Support Is More Than a Donation. It's a Message.
Your Support Is More Than a Donation. It's a Message.
Every piece of equipment delivered tells a soldier something powerful: You are not alone. People around the world see your sacrifice, believe in your mission, and are standing behind you. Sometimes the greatest strength isn't what you carry into battle, but knowing that someone is behind you with a full heart.

FAQ
Why does Iron Support exist when the IDF already equips its soldiers?
The Israel Defense Forces provide its soldiers with essential equipment, but during wartime, urgent operational needs can emerge faster than traditional procurement systems can respond. Reserve units, medical teams, and frontline personnel may require specialized equipment, additional supplies, or mission-critical resources on short notice. Iron Support was created to help bridge those gaps. Working through trusted relationships and verified requests, we help provide equipment that can improve readiness, enhance medical care, and support those serving on the front lines. Our mission isn't to replace the IDF, it's to strengthen the people defending Israel when timely support can make a meaningful difference.
Where does my donation actually go?
Contributions are received and administered by our charitable partner, Chabad of Parkland -Regional Headquarters for North Broward & South Palm Beach (Tax ID: 650946383), a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, which retains full discretion and control over the use of all donated funds. Depending on operational priorities, funds may support advanced medical equipment, protective gear, field supplies, humanitarian assistance, or other verified needs identified through trusted channels. Because needs evolve continuously, contributions are unrestricted and are directed toward the highest verified priority rather than any single item. This allows the mission to respond quickly when needs are most urgent.
How do you determine what soldiers and units actually need?
Iron Support works through firsthand relationships with reservists, medical personnel, and nonprofit partners to identify legitimate needs, and recommends funding priorities to our charitable partner. Every request is evaluated before a recommendation is made.
Who is behind Iron Support, and why should I trust you?
Iron Support was founded by an American-Israeli combat veteran, just 48 hours after the October 7 attacks. Witnessing firsthand how quickly urgent needs were emerging, he set out to connect supporters around the world with Israel's defenders on the front lines. While continuing to serve in extended reserve duty throughout the war, he has continued to lead Iron Support alongside a growing community of volunteers and donors committed to the mission. To date, Iron Support has mobilized more than $200,000 in support, providing critical equipment and assistance to Israeli soldiers and reserve units. Iron Support is built on a simple belief: when ordinary people unite around a shared purpose, they can make an extraordinary difference.
How can I be confident my donation is making a real impact?
Transparency is our core value. Throughout this website you'll find photographs, field updates, donor stories, and firsthand testimonials from the soldiers who received Iron Support's assistance. These stories represent the real people behind every contribution. While operational security limits what can always be shared publicly, we are committed to showing the impact of your generosity whenever possible. Every donation becomes part of a mission much larger than any one individual.
Why are donations processed through TheChesedFund.com instead of Iron Support?
Iron Support uses The Chesed Fund to provide donors with a secure, established, and transparent donation process. Rather than collecting payment information directly through our website, contributions are completed on The Chesed Fund’s platform, where donors receive formal transaction confirmation and applicable tax documentation. When you click Donate, you will be clearly redirected to The Chesed Fund to complete your contribution. Your donation remains designated for Iron Support, but the payment itself is handled through a trusted third-party fundraising platform with established systems for processing charitable gifts. This structure helps protect donor information, creates a clear financial record, and allows Iron Support to remain focused on identifying verified needs and delivering support where it is needed most.
What makes Iron Support different from other organizations?
Iron Support is intentionally small, agile, and mission-focused. We work directly with trusted military contacts, commanders, medics, and reserve units to identify urgent, verified needs that may require immediate attention. This allows us to respond quickly, adapt to changing conditions, and help provide critical equipment where it can have the greatest impact.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Donations are processed through The Chesed Fund on behalf of our charitable partner, Chabad of Parkland -Regional Headquarters for North Broward & South Palm Beach (Tax ID: 650946383), a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law, and donors receive an official tax receipt following their contribution. Iron Support is not itself a nonprofit or tax-exempt entity. All donations are received and administered by our charitable partner, which retains full discretion and control over their use. Please consult your tax advisor regarding your specific circumstances.
Are there administrative or overhead costs associated with my donation?
Iron Support is volunteer-led, and no salary or compensation is paid to its founder. The campaign operates with minimal overhead so that the greatest possible portion of each contribution supports verified needs. Payment-processing fees are deducted from donations by the payment processor before funds reach our charitable partner. Iron Support does not receive, hold, or process donation funds.
Are you affiliated with the Israeli government or the IDF?
No. Iron Support is an independent civilian fundraising initiative and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the State of Israel or the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). No logo, insignia, image, or reference appearing on this website should be interpreted as indicating endorsement by any military unit or government body. While we work with trusted contacts to identify verified needs, Iron Support operates independently through its nonprofit fundraising partnership.
What is Iron Support's legal structure?
Iron Support is an unincorporated charitable initiative. It is not a registered nonprofit or tax-exempt entity, and it does not receive, hold, or disburse donor funds. All donations are processed through The Chesed Fund and are received and administered by Chabad of Parkland -Regional HQ for North Broward & South Palm Beach (Tax ID: 650946383), a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, which retains full discretion and control over their use.
