This subcollection documents JDC’s collaborations and initiatives with intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations; Jewish and non-sectarian philanthropic agencies; and U.S. and foreign governmental personnel and offices in the course of its rescue, welfare, and long-term development initiatives during the years 1975-1989.
Many of the files detail the formation and implementation of domestic and international fundraising campaigns, as well as documenting the structure, governance, priorities, and personnel of these agencies and their affiliates, such as: the United Israel Appeal (UIA) and the United Jewish Appeal (UJA), the Jewish Agency for Israel, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), the Interfaith Hunger Appeal, the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, the International Council on Voluntary Agencies (ICVA), the New York Association for New Americans (NYANA), the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and the U.S. Refugee Program (USRP), among numerous others.
These records also evidence responses from the Jewish philanthropic sphere to significant world events, such as the Yom Kippur War in 1973 and the signing of the Egypt-Israel peace agreement in 1979. These files contains some materials whose dates fall outside the scope of the time period.
