We help Ukrainian refugees and displaced persons in Moldova, Ukraine, and Romania

AMJF has built a network of vetted local NGOs, CSOs, and educational institutions in Ukraine, Moldova, and Romania to identify needs of people impacted by the conflict and to address them.
About us

How we work

Step to step into our process

The American Multinational Jewish Federation (AMJF) operates by building a network of trusted local Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs), Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), and educational institutions to address the needs of people in high-risk and vulnerable environments.

Our approach is rooted in the Russian proverb, “Trust, but verify” (Доверяй, но проверяй – “Doveryai no proveryai”), popularized by President Ronald Reagan. This principle guides our commitment to transparency, accountability, and efficacy in our humanitarian efforts.

Needs assessment

AMJF collaborates with local organizations to identify the needs of people impacted by human-made and natural crises. Afterwards, we create a “menu of needs” based on the identified requirements, including supplies and projects such as water purification devices, thermal blankets, hygiene products, and gynecological examination vouchers for refugees.

Donation

From the Donation page, donors pick what supplies they wish to help procure and have delivered on their behalf, and/or which local organizations they wish to support. Donors may specify from the “menu” what funds and supplies are delivered to which NGOs or allow AMJF to determine where their donation will have the most impact based on the latest needs assessment.

Donation receipt

AMJF verifies that the funds or supplies were delivered and used as designated. As a 501C3, AMJF provides a tax receipt for the donation.

Procurement and distribution

AMJF facilitates the procurement of supplies and delivery to the local organization, or sending the funds directly to them for procurement. We also ensure that the funds or supplies were delivered and utilized as intended through verification processes.

Activities and Testimonials

The American Multinational Jewish Federation collaborates with its partners in Ukraine and Moldova to distribute essential supplies and initiate programs that cater to the needs of displaced individuals, vulnerable communities, and other individuals affected by the war. AMJF’s local NGO partners assess the requirements of the affected people and submit requests for supplies, which are subsequently transferred to the partner NGO to distribute amongst its beneficiaries.

The following are examples of activities and testimonials from our partners.

Consortium of Ukrainian and Moldovan Academic Institutions (CUMAI)

AMJF facilitated the creation of the Consortium of Ukrainian and Moldovan Academic Institutions (CUMAI), partnering eight leading Ukrainian universities, one Moldovan university, and San Diego State University (SDSU). CUMAI offers a timely platform to address challenges from the conflict in Ukraine and contribute to recovery in the region. This consortium promotes partnerships in academics, mental health, business, and cultural exchange, fostering collaboration among the United States, Ukraine, and Moldova, while also providing an effective platform for humanitarian aid distribution

Governance, Compliance, and Risk Management Courses – Fulbright Scholar

Beginning in Fall 2023, at the invitation of the Rector of Odesa National Economic University (ONEU), Dr. Marc Siegel, founder and CEO of AMJF, adapted his MBA course in Governance, Compliance, and Risk Management to address the specific needs of Ukrainian and Moldovan universities. The course was delivered both in-person and via Zoom broadcast to students at universities across Ukraine and Moldova.
