Does anyone know about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews?

They are advertising on MSNBC for donations.

My question is whether or not this organization is a rightwing front or legitimate?

The link in the ad is for protectthejews.org.

On a search one gets this link to send a donation.

https://help.ifcj.org/donate/111/9?s_src=protectjews&s_subsrc=TIX2200XXESXW&medium=tv&utm_source=cannella&utm_campaign=UkraineERAP&utm_content=protectjews

From that page one can link to International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

Their website is: https://www.ifcj.org/

in Pittsburgh. Very reputable. They are helping to help house refugees soon.

That sounds good.

I am not looking to donate but concerned as others in this thread that one could be sending money to rightwing evangelical group.

Is this linked to Huckabee as others suggested?

For instance, Mike Huckabee.

I don't know anything about them, but I know I don't trust Huckabee.

mainly on RW channels.

If you're looking for a charity specifically to help Ukraine, there are better choices. Charitynavigator.org says the largest share of their money goes to Guardians of Israel, to help the needy in Israel. And one of their stated goals is to build broad support for Israel.

IFCJ disperses most of the funds to IFCJ subsidiary organizations (as of 2019)

Guardians of Israel 36%

On Wings of Eagles 28%

Isaiah 58 13%

for a total of about $63 million.
