About this fund
The Brecher Support Fund was founded by Shlomo Brecher with a heartfelt mission: to provide assistance to those in need, ensuring that financial hardship does not prevent individuals and families from meeting their basic living expenses. Our organization operates in both the United States and Israel, extending help to those facing financial difficulties.
Unlike many charities that conduct frequent fundraising campaigns, we rely on year-round donations to maintain a steady flow of aid. While we typically do not campaign aggressively, we do rally support when a particular cause arises that requires urgent attention. Our approach allows us to focus on making a direct impact rather than investing resources in constant fundraising efforts.
When you donate to the Brecher Support Fund, you can be confident that your contribution is making a real difference. We prioritize transparency and efficiency, ensuring that funds go directly to the individuals, families, or organizations that need them most. We carefully assess each situation to ensure that aid reaches those who truly require it.
We also place a strong emphasis on preserving the dignity and privacy of those we assist. We understand that financial struggles can be deeply personal and challenging, so we distribute aid discreetly and respectfully. We believe that helping others should never come at the cost of their self-respect.
Through the generosity of our donors, we have been able to make a meaningful impact in the lives of many. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps provide relief and hope to those who need it most. With continued support, we can expand our reach and assist even more families struggling with financial hardship.
The Brecher Support Fund is a program of Rekonect, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit (EIN 82-4750961). Gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Questions donors ask
A Community Support Fund (CSF) is a grassroots fundraising program hosted by Rekonect. Each CSF is run by an independent organizer raising money for a specific cause they care about, with Rekonect providing the legal, financial, and technical infrastructure to make it possible. Donations to a CSF go to Rekonect, which then disburses the funds to support the cause according to the program’s purpose. This model lets organizers focus on the work itself rather than the overhead of starting and running a nonprofit from scratch.
Rekonect is a US 501(c)(3) nonprofit that sponsors grassroots fundraising programs. You can read more about us in our mission and manifesto. Every CSF goes through a vetting process before going live: we verify the organizer’s identity, review the cause description for legitimacy and alignment with our mission, and conduct a post-approval onboarding call to confirm the program’s scope and operations. Causes that pass vetting are hosted on our platform; those that don’t, aren’t.
Yes, for US taxpayers. Rekonect is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit (EIN 82-4750961), and donations are deductible to the extent allowed by US law. Tax deductibility applies to US donors only — we do not currently offer Israeli or other foreign tax-deductible giving. You will receive a tax receipt by email immediately after your donation, and all your receipts are also available in your donor account.
Rekonect deducts a 2% administrative fee and a 6.5% platform fee, which covers its cost of the BrightLeaf Giving platform that runs CSFs. Credit card processing fees are 3.5%, and donors have the option to cover the processing and platform fees at checkout. We keep these costs as low as we can while still operating responsibly, and every fee is disclosed transparently rather than hidden in the math.
Donations are held by Rekonect and disbursed against documented requests from the CSF organizer. Vendor payments require invoices, stipends require electronically signed agreements, and direct grants require an attestation of need from the recipient. Every disbursement is capped at $10,000 and requires approval from both Rekonect and our platform partner before funds are released. This structure ensures that money moves only against verified requests for purposes consistent with the CSF’s stated mission.
We accept Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) grants and wire transfers in addition to credit card and ACH donations. Stock and check donations are not currently supported. Full instructions for each accepted donation method are available directly on the donation form — select your preferred method and the form will guide you through the next steps.
Yes. Recurring donations are available on a monthly basis — select the recurring option on the donation form when you give. To change the amount, pause, or cancel a recurring donation, email us at the address listed on our contact page and we’ll handle it promptly. Self-service management of recurring donations through the donor account is on our roadmap.
Yes to both. The donation form includes a dedication field where you can mark your gift in honor of, in memory of, or in celebration of someone, with an optional message. You can also choose to send the honoree an e-card acknowledging your gift. To give anonymously, select the anonymous option on the donation form — your information will still reach the program for receipt purposes, but your name won’t appear in public donor listings.
Yes. All donations are processed through a PCI-compliant payment processor that handles card data according to industry security standards. Rekonect itself does not store any card information on its servers — payment details are tokenized through the processor and never touch our systems. Your financial information is protected by the same standards used by major financial institutions.
A donor account is optional but useful. It gives you faster checkout on future gifts, access to your full giving history and tax receipts in one place, and a record of any dedications you’ve made. Additional features — including saved payment methods and self-service management of recurring donations — are on our roadmap. Account creation is free and takes about a minute.
