Achim is a non-profit organization established by visionary philanthropist Marc Schimmel and Motti Eichler. Its goal is to capitalize on the economic potential of the chareidi community through a variety of entrepreneurial and business projects, among them:

• A global business network to support chareidi entrepreneurs and up-and-coming businessmen in establishing and growing their businesses.
• Two business centers, in Jerusalem and in Bnei Brak, with plans underway for more in major Jewish centers around the world.
• Bereishis – Achim’s employment arm, established to tap into the chareidi sector’s human capital for the mutual benefit of the chareidi community and Israeli businesses and corporations. To date Bereishis has placed over 15,000 chareidim in jobs.
• The Achim Loan Fund, which assists small businesses and startups with finding angel investors and initial funding.
