    About American Jewish Committee

    American Jewish Committee’s recent grantmaking is defined by emergency support tied to Israel and nearby humanitarian crises, alongside program funding for leadership and diplomacy. In 2024, it gave $500,000 to Friends of Givat Haviva Inc. for work with the Kibbutz Movement to help meet the needs of 23 kibbutzim attacked by Hamas, a grant that stands out as the largest in the recent list. The foundation also backed medical and response infrastructure: $220,000 to American Friends of Soroka Medical Center for stretchers, $200,000 to American Friends of Assuta Ashdod Hospital, and $200,000 to American Friends of Rambam Medical Center to assist with the current emergency in Israel. Its portfolio also reaches refugee relief and education, including support for Ukrainian Jewish refugees and students through the Jewish Agency for Israel North American Council and American Friends of Tel Aviv University Inc. Across the list, American Jewish Committee funds project-based grants to organizations serving displaced civilians, wounded soldiers, Holocaust survivors, first responders, and institutions working on Israel advocacy, public diplomacy, and human rights.

    What American Jewish Committee Funds

    Emergency response is the clearest theme in the recent grants. American Jewish Committee gave $150,000 to Friends of United Hatzalah Inc. for humanitarian relief during the current emergency in Israel, and later made an additional $150,000 grant for its activities in the same crisis. It also supported American Friends of Magen David Adom with $100,000 in 2025 for training in emergency first aid in medical care communities through Israel. Humanitarian relief for displaced people appears as well: $100,000 went to American Friends of Migdal OHR for basic needs of those displaced by the events in Southern and Northern Israel. The foundation also funded trauma and rehabilitation work with a $100,000 grant to American Friends of Sheba Medical Center for its Victims of War Rehabilitation center.

    How American Jewish Committee Gives

    Typical grant size sits at $18,750 at the 25th percentile, $50,000 at the median, and $100,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent list shows repeated support to the same organizations across years, including multiple grants to the Jewish Agency for Israel North American Council, Joint Distribution Committee, American Friends of Rambam Medical Center, and Friends of United Hatzalah Inc. That pattern points to recurring, restricted project-based funding rather than one-off awards. American Jewish Committee does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. The listed programs are organizational grantmaking and exchange/fellowship efforts; none are described as accepting unsolicited applications.
