(BIS) is Israel’s leading non-profit organization furthering rights, opportunities
and services for people with disabilities in all sectors of society, with an impact on some 500,000

legislation, and sharing knowledge throughout Israel, as well as internationally, through
research, consultation and training.
As a 37-year-old social start-up in the field of disabilities, BIS’s expertise is in scaling up its
impactful solutions - developed, researched and validated on-site - enabling the organization to
promote systemic change in the quality of life of people with disabilities in Israel and overseas.
