Since 1983, when the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews was founded, nearly a billion dollars have been raised to help Jewish communities across the globe. The majority of the aid comes from Christians around the world, especially the United States.
With the generous support of Christians, IFCJ has become one of the largest organizations anywhere in the world that supports Israel and its neediest people. IFCJ is also the largest non-profit philanthropic organization in Israel.
The main goals of IFCJ are to promote understanding and reconciliation between the Jewish and Christian communities while at the same time binging humanitarian aid to Israel’s neediest communities and Jewish communities outside of Israel who are at risk.
The IFCJ has more than two million people backing up the work that they do, raising over $140 million each year in support of that work. There are offices in Chicago, Jerusalem, Toronto, and Seoul, South Korea, giving the IFCJ a truly global reach.
In order to promote better understanding between Christians and Jews throughout the world IFCJ broadcasts radio programs on 3,745 radio stations reaching over 24.6 million listeners every week. There is also television programming, and a strong presence on social media such as Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. Stand for Israel is an advocacy group with a Facebook following of almost 1 million people, supporting Israel’s right to peace and security.
IFCJ is the most prominent organization around the world that promotes understanding and good relations between Jews and Christians. Every day, it seeks to create an atmosphere of cooperation, understanding, and support between two great communities of faith.
