The top five US Jewish nonprofits that claim to fight anti-Semitic hate & violence

By Jon Sutz

Last update March 22, 2026 (archive)

In my three recent reports, I present evidence regarding instances in which the top-five US Jewish nonprofits fail to address the lies that drive most hate and violence against Jews, and the most influential peddlers of these lies:

These top-five nonprofits — the Jewish Federations of North America, the Anti-Defamation League, the Blue Square Alliance Against Hate, the American Jewish Committee, and the Simon Wiesenthal Center — each claim to to fight anti-Semitic hate & violence.  Yet as my reports expose, almost universally, they either downplay or ignore the actual dominant drivers of these phenomena, and often misdirect us into believing the “far-right” is the dominant threat to Jews.

As a reference, I created this page to provide documentation of each nonprofit’s:

  • Mission statements, and other claims that state they exist in whole, or in part, to expose and combat anti-Semitic hate and violence
  • Amount of donations received in the most recent tax year

As shown below, these top nonprofits collectively received a total of $1,119,225,034 during the 2023-2024 tax years.
