The strategic report of the Jewish Federations of North America, supporting Israelis with disabilities – published in February 2026 – selected us as one of 18 organizations recommended for philanthropic investment in Israel.
Out of hundreds of organizations operating in this field, the report highlights Oti as a professional and impactful organization with the capacity to lead strategic partnerships. It also emphasizes our commitment to ensuring equal access to diagnosis and treatment for every child with autism in Israel, regardless of background or geographic location.
This is an important recognition of the dedicated work of the Oti team – thousands of professionals who show up every day with heart and expertise to make a difference.
