DONOR IMPACT REPORT

From Gaza to Ramallah to Amman, your care is reaching communities in urgent need. Thanks to your partnership with AFEDJ, the Diocese of Jerusalem’s schools, hospitals, and centers continue to meet that need with courage, even in the face of enormous challenges. 

Today, we’re releasing our latest Donor Impact Report, covering January through June 2025. It highlights the collective strength of individual AFEDJ donors like you, whose steady generosity has provided critical support across the Diocese. Our featured story comes from the Episcopal Technological & Vocational Training Center in Ramallah, where students are gaining hands-on experience and developing real-world skills and solutions thanks to opportunities made possible through your support. 

We hope you’ll take a moment to learn more about the difference you’re driving across the Holy Land.

SPRING CAMPAIGN UPDATE

We’re proud to share that, thanks to donors like you, our 2025 Spring Campaign raised just over $1 million in support of the Diocese of Jerusalem. This total includes both gifts designated for specific diocesan institutions and contributions directed to “where the need is greatest,” which enable us to make a mid-year, board-approved grant to address needs and emerging opportunities across the Diocese as identified by the Archbishop. 

This outpouring of generosity arrived at a critical time, as the Diocese’s hospitals, schools, and community centers continue to operate under immense pressure. Your membership helps meet this moment with the kind of flexible, reliable support these institutions count on—thank you.
