This is not a legit organization. It is a SCAM. First they told you “holocaust Jews are starving in Israel” and that was proven to be a LIE. Israel takes care of their citizens, they don’t need more money. Then they said they needed your money after Oct 7, which wasn’t a prolonged war but an attack that was over in 24 hours. Now they are saying “Jews are suffering in Ukraine” so they need more of your money. What they don’t tell you is “EVERYONE IS SUFFERING IN UKRAINE” and “UKRAINE ALREADY RECEIVES BILLIONS IN HUMANITARIAN SUPPORT!!” This scam org is not helping anyone but THEMSELVES. The former president paid to have criticism removed from the internet. His daughter is worth tens of millions and it ALL CAME FROM RUNNING THIS SCAM!!!” Everyone who works at this scam should be ashamed of themselves. Find a true charity to work at, not a “charity org” that “needs” $50 million each year in advertising costs.

After contacting management, it seems the organization doesn't care if their funds are used to support unethical and harmful activity.

My mother is on a limited income. She originally started to donate to this organization, but decided to shift her donation into another organization. I contacted the organization and they said that they would stop taking funds and they understood. But here we are three months later and they still continue to take out money monthly. I’ve contacted them at least three times and asked him to stop taking the donation and they agreed. They confirmed my mom’s account and said it was taken care of. this morning I looked on my Mom’s account and they took it out again. Just goes to show you that they are more worried about money than people, especially in older people's financial situations, very sad. They should be able to do what they say when they say they are going to stop they should stop.

The IFCJ CEO, an american woman living in Israel, takes home between $700-$900k a year as her salary for the non-profit. She should try giving some of her salary to the holocaust survivors she claims to want to help. Do not give this scammer your money.

When I called the company to speak to them about why they never promote the fellowship of Christians and Jews helping Christian causes and it’s always Jewish causes. I gave an example of Ukraine, where there are Christian Ukrainians besides Jews. The lady on the other end of the line hung up on me. She didn’t say one word. This is the organization, and in my opinion, the true face of the organization…. I can send a copy of the telephone number that I dialed, but there’s no way to attach a photo based on what I’m looking at. So after receiving a response from this organization, I’d like to post this just to prove my point at how callous and dry these people are: “The Druze in Syria are not Christians; they are a distinct, esoteric ethnoreligious community that originated as an offshoot of Shia Islam in the 11th century, combining elements of Islam, Hinduism, and Greek philosophy. While they share some social aspects with Christians, they are a completely different faith and community.” Where are the pleading advertisements? I sure didn’t see any. I see your pleading advertisements every day for Jewish people. Good try, what is it, 90% go to Jews while 10% goes to Christians? Let’s start seeing fierce ads and sense of urgency by the actors in the commercials for Christian causes. And let’s see “on the ground presence” like you do in Jewish causes.
