Midot

Midot is an Israeli nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting ethical conduct, transparency, and social responsibility within the public and private sectors. Established in 2003, Midot aims to enhance organizational integrity and accountability by providing evaluations, guidance, and resources for implementing ethical practices.

The organization conducts comprehensive assessments of philanthropic foundations, nonprofit organizations, and corporate social responsibility initiatives. Its evaluation process is based on a set of standardized criteria that measure an entity’s transparency, impact, governance, and resource management. Midot’s reports help stakeholders make informed decisions and encourage organizations to uphold high standards of ethical conduct.

In addition to evaluations, Midot offers consulting services, capacity-building programs, and online tools to assist organizations in developing responsible policies and practices. Its initiatives aim to foster a culture of integrity, encourage effective social investment, and increase public trust in organizations.

Midot is also known for its efforts to promote transparency in philanthropy through its "Transparency and Accountability Report," which benchmarks and highlights best practices among Israeli foundations and NGOs. The organization collaborates with various government agencies, nonprofit networks, and international bodies to advance the field of ethical conduct and social responsibility.

Through its work, Midot seeks to create a more transparent and accountable societal environment where organizations are motivated to operate ethically and effectively serve their communities. Its efforts contribute to strengthening the nonprofit sector and enhancing public confidence in charitable and social organizations in Israel.
