Background of the third sector in Israel
In the State of Israel, there are over 38,000 societies (known by their Hebrew name “Amuta” (plural – “Amutott”) and charitable corporations that belong to the “third sector”. This sector includes non-profit organizations, most of which exist to promote a certain ideology or a desire to assist the public and populations that require assistance and/or protection. The activities of these organizations are funded primarily through contributions as well as government allocations and are carried out in many cases by volunteers.
