Mission, Meaning, and Money:
BEHIND THE SCENES AT AMERICAS LARGEST JEWISH CHARITY The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, affectionately referred to as the Joint, is considered to be one of the most effective and professionally-run Jewish nonprofit organizations in the United States. To support and expand its rescue, relief, and renewal programs that help individuals in need in almost 70 countries, the organization has in recent years become a fundraising powerhouse.
