The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) has been ranked among the top 100 largest nonprofits in the Chronicle of Philanthropy’s annual Philanthropy 400 list. Based on this ranking, JDC is the largest operating charity in the Jewish philanthropic world.

“JDC’s ranking in the Philanthropy 400 is a gratifying acknowledgement of the enormous impact that our global humanitarian aid program has on the lives of vulnerable Jewish populations the world over,” said JDC’s CEO Steven Schwager. “However, in these tough economic times we must continue to ensure that the hungry are fed, the sick are cared for, and that basic needs are met.”

In addition to this ranking, JDC has been the recipient of Charity Navigator’s highest 4-star rating for the second consecutive year and was named by Charity Navigator as one of the“10 of the Best Charities Everyone’s Heard Of.” JDC was also among the NonProfit Times’ 2008 Top 100 nonprofits and is a Better Business Bureau accredited charity.

Logging In With One of Your Social Web Site Logins

Instead of trying to remember a bunch of special username/password combinations to log in to different web sites that you visit, you can now link your account on this web site to your account on one (or more) of the social media web sites shown and log in with the same username/password combination that you use on that social web site to log in to our site.

To provide this connection in a secure manner, we use Gigya, a social network connection provider that works behind the scenes to make safe, secure connections between user accounts on different systems, such as popular social media web sites like Facebook and web sites like ours where you are actively involved in social issues and causes.

Each time you log in, Gigya uses special application programming interfaces (APIs) to establish the connection between the sites and validate your username and password. Neither our web site or Gigya receive or store your social network passwords.

In addition to reducing the number of logins you have to remember, connecting your accounts can make it quicker and easier to share an activity or cause you feel passionately about from our web site with your friends on your social web sites.

You can break the connection between your accounts at any time.
