Employees of the Israeli tech company decided to significantly enlist in aid efforts in Israel, in any form. Among others, Forter partnered with Supporters at Home initiative's Rinat Greenberg, the Israeli Leadership Forum (ILF), and Overwolf and Bareket-Ibeco to provide apartments for evacuees in Yavne for a year, with full equipment, from furniture to the level of groceries from the supermarket. Company employees donated their days off

On October 7, employees of the Israeli high-tech company Forter made a significant decision to aid rescue efforts, support evacuees, and contribute to the rehabilitation of Israeli society. In addition to the company's official involvement in various initiatives, its employees participated by donating their vacation days. This generous act resulted in substantial funds, augmenting Forter's financial contributions.
For instance, Forter collaborated with the 'Supporters at Home' initiative, spearheaded by Rinat Greenberg of the Israeli Leadership Forum (ILF), Overwolf, and Bareket-Ibeco, to secure apartments for families evacuated from the surrounding areas. While Bareket-Ibeco provided a full year's rent for these families, Forter's employees donated their vacation days to fund necessities such as furniture and groceries.
Moreover, Forter independently engaged in the project, directly contacting and assisting other families. The company's employees also dedicated a day to volunteer at these apartments, where they engaged in setting up, building furniture, and decorating.
These efforts are part of a broader range of charitable activities undertaken by the company. These include hosting soldiers in Tel Aviv in the company's fully equipped offices from the onset of the war to the present, making substantial donations to aid organizations, security forces, NGOs, and evacuees, and even hosting a wedding at their offices.
During Hanukkah, the company continued its outreach, organizing a candle-lighting event at the David Intercontinental Hotel for 60 children, primarily from Kibbutzim Zimrat and Gvaram. These children, who were staying in various hotels away from their friends, were delighted by the opportunity to reunite. The event included creative and experiential activities like a train workshop and skateboard design, allowing each child to take home their creations. The event was further enlivened by a performance from Nevo Abutbul, a mentalist, adding to the festive spirit.
