JDC

American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, Inc. (JDC) is non profit organization.
Since 1914, JDC has served as the overseas arm of the American Jewish community. Our mission is to serve the needs of Jews throughout the world, particularly where their lives as Jews are threatened or made more difficult.
We sponsor programs of relief, rescue and renewal and help Israel address its most urgent social challenges. We are committed to the idea that all Jews are responsible for one another.
Our Operating Principles – JDC adheres to three operating principles.

* We are non-partisan and apolitical.
* We seek to empower local communities by creating model programs and training local leadership to run the programs. During a project’s formative stage, we handle the administrative responsibilities and evaluate the project for effectiveness.
* We build coalitions with strategic partners who, ultimately, will assume responsibility for the programs.
