Athena Fund is a non-profit organization that was established in 2006. Its mission is to empower teachers in Israel by providing them with tools for self-fulfillment and professional advancement.[1] The fund was established by business executives under the guidance of Uri Ben-Ari, who serves as the CEO of UBA Ventures and formerly held the position of Executive Vice President at Ness Technologies.[2]
Introduced in 2007, Athena Fund's flagship initiative is the "Digital Toolbox for Every Teacher in Israel" (formerly "Laptop Computer for Every Teacher in Israel") program. Launched with the support of Israel's Prime Minister's Office, the program has been implemented in collaboration with the Israeli Ministry of Education, the Israel Teachers Union, and Bank Massad, an Israeli bank that specializes in providing banking services to teachers.
Since 2012, Athena Fund has launched three additional programs in Israel: "Digital Toolbox for Every Kindergarten Teacher" (“Laptop Computer for Every Kindergarten Teacher”, 2012); "Digital Toolbox for Every STEM Teacher" (“Tablet for Every Science Teacher,” 2014); and "Digital Toolbox for Every Special Education Teacher" (“iPad for Every Special Education Teacher,” 2015).
