Use this checklist to evaluate a Jewish nonprofit organization through the Tzedek America Program: confirm the mission aligns with community justice, review how funds support direct services, and look for transparent donation pathways like tzedekamerica.org/donate-now. Prioritize clear outcomes, respectful partnerships, and a commitment to ethical, person-centered impact.
Before contributing, verify that the organization communicates its approach in plain language, provides accessible resources for supporters, and demonstrates accountability in how it reports progress. If the program emphasizes dignity, equity, and measurable community benefit, it’s a strong fit for your giving goals.
