1. Can a needy person submit a request to be posted on the website by him/herself?
No, a private individual may not submit a request for funding. All requests must come through either a social worker or some other social service provider such as a guidance counselor, youth director or seniors worker currently employed by a municipality, school, hospital, youth or seniors center, who can provide Ten Gav with the supporting documentation that we request and authorization from a manager in his department.
2. You say that Ten Gav works to fund relatively modest needs. Is there a maximum amount for a need that can be posted on the Ten Gav website?
Yes. We do not accept any requests for funding that exceed 5500 NIS or $1500.
3. Are there any other restrictions regarding the type of needs that can be posted on Ten Gav?
Yes. We do not accept requests for funding for food, dental work or debt, and we do not fund recurring needs. In addition, we will not partially fund a need unless the amount we are requested to fund represents the final payment for a need and the entire balance of the need is already guaranteed.
4. You show the names of the social workers that have submitted the stories to you. Do these social workers act alone?
A social worker or another similar service provider may approach Ten Gav with a request for funding after completing an application process during which a case report accompanied by price quotes and authorization by his/her superior must be submitted for review. A social worker may not submit a request independently. Ten Gav only works with social services agencies that have been pre-approved by Ten Gav.
5. Once a need has been completely funded, what do you do?
First, we check that the need is still current and has not been met by other sources during the period of time that it was posted on Ten Gav. Then we pay the supplier of the goods or services directly and arrange for delivery in cooperation with the social worker. We notify all donors to that particular campaign that it has been completed and we remove it from the list of current stories on the Ten Gav website.
6. What happens when you receive too much money for a case?
If a donation comes in that is earmarked for a case that is already funded, the donor will be contacted and asked if s/he would approve of Ten Gav using the donation to support another case of his/her choosing or at the discretion of Ten Gav. If the donor requests, his/her donation will be refunded.
