The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) is the world’s leading Jewish humanitarian NGO. Leveraging nearly a century’s expertise helping Jewish communities worldwide confront disaster, extreme poverty, political instability, and genocide, JDC employs best-in-class problem solvers with the knowledge and on-the-ground experience to address some of today’s most urgent global needs.

In more than 70 countries and in Israel, JDC alleviates hunger and hardship, rescues Jews in danger, creates lasting connections to Jewish life, and provides a Jewish response to natural and man-made disasters. It does this by operating strategically: creating programs that are innovative, scalable, and replicable; leveraging funding resources through partnerships with government agencies, the private sector, and other NGOs; and demanding the highest level of transparency and accountability, always with an eye toward long-term sustainability. Above all, JDC puts into action the ideal that all Jews are responsible for one another.
