Donate to RISE Palestine
Palestinian tech workers and entrepreneurs affected by the war on Gaza need emergency grant support.
The RISE Palestine initiative is raising $3,000,000 to support Palestinian tech talent and startups. Upon raising a minimum threshold of $500,000, RISE will begin soliciting funding applications from startups and disbursing aid. The program will extend support for a period of six months to a year, depending on the needs and availability of funds. The program consists of two types of grants: “TEAM Grant” and “Startup Grant.”
Bank of Palestine has committed $150,000 to support the RISE Palestine initiative.
