JOINT ISRAEL HAD NET ASSETS OF $32,027,000; REVENUE OF $82,349,882; AND EXPENSES OF $85,534,530 FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018. THESE BALANCES, AS WELL AS ALL JOINT ISRAEL ACTIVITY DURING THE CALENDAR YEAR, INCLUDING PROGRAM SERVICES AND GRANTS PAID AND RECEIVED, ARE INCLUDED ON JDC'S FORM 990.
MISSION, CONTINUED	PART III LINE 1 JDC IS DEDICATED TO SERVING THE NEEDS OF JEWS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, PARTICULARLY WHERE THEIR LIVES AS JEWS ARE THREATENED OR MADE MORE DIFFICULT, THROUGH THE FOLLOWING MISSION: RESCUE WHENEVER AND WHEREVER A JEWISH COMMUNITY IS THREATENED: IN THE EARLY 1990'S, JDC HELPED SUSTAIN AND RESCUE 15,000 ETHIOPIAN JEWS. TODAY, JDC MAINTAINS GLOBAL NETWORKS AND CONTINGENCY PLANS IN THE EVENT OF A CRISIS. RELIEF FOR JEWISH COMMUNITIES IN DISTRESS: JDC, THROUGH AN INFRASTRUCTURE OF LOCAL INDEPENDENT AFFILIATES THROUGHOUT THE REGION, PROVIDES SUPPORT THAT RESULTS IN THE PROVISION OF FOOD, CLOTHING, AND MEDICINE TO HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF IMPOVERISHED ELDERLY HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS AND CHILDREN IN NEED IN THE FORMER SOVIET UNION ("FSU") AND THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. RENEWAL AND DISCOVERY OF JEWISH HERITAGE AND JEWISH COMMUNITY LIFE: SINCE THE FALL OF COMMUNIST REGIMES IN EUROPE, JDC HELPS JEWISH COMMUNITIES REDISCOVER THEIR HERITAGE AND REBUILD A VIBRANT JEWISH COMMUNAL LIFE. PARTNERSHIP WITH ISRAEL AS IT ADDRESSES THE SOCIAL SERVICE NEEDS OF ITS MOST VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES: CHILDREN AT RISK, STRUGGLING IMMIGRANT POPULATIONS, THE ELDERLY, AND THE DISABLED. INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (IDP): NON-SECTARIAN AID IN RESPONSE TO NATURAL AND MANMADE DISASTERS AND LONG-TERM DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE PROVIDED TO NON-JEWS TO FULFILL THE JEWISH TENET OF TIKKUN OLAM, THE MORAL RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR THE WORLD AND ALLEVIATE SUFFERING WHEREVER IT EXISTS. OPERATING PRINCIPLES - JDC ADHERES TO THE FOLLOWING THREE OPERATING PRINCIPLES: A) JDC IS NON-PARTISAN AND APOLITICAL. B) JDC SEEKS TO EMPOWER LOCAL COMMUNITIES BY CREATING MODEL PROGRAMS AND TRAINING LOCAL LEADERSHIP TO MANAGE THE PROGRAMS. DURING A PROJECT'S FORMATIVE STAGE, JDC HANDLES THE ADMINISTRATIVE RESPONSIBILITIES AND EVALUATES THE PROJECT FOR EFFECTIVENESS. C) JDC BUILDS COALITIONS WITH STRATEGIC PARTNERS WHO, ULTIMATELY, WILL ASSUME RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE PROGRAMS. OFTEN REFERRED TO AS "THE JOINT", JDC HAS WORKED IN OVER 85 COUNTRIES OVER THE COURSE OF ITS HISTORY AND HAS PLAYED A ROLE AT VIRTUALLY EVERY MAJOR JUNCTURE OF JEWISH HISTORY SINCE ITS FOUNDING.
PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS, CONTINUED	PART III LINE 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D 4A: SAVING JEWISH LIVES PROGRAMS INCLUDE: FOOD AND NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES HOMECARE MEDICAL SERVICES, EQUIPMENT, AND MEDICINES EMERGENCY GRANTS IN 2018, JDC PROVIDED ROUGHLY 110,000 JEWS IN NEED AROUND THE WORLD WITH MUCH NEEDED RELIEF AND WELFARE SERVICES. IN 2018, JDC PROVIDED over 18 MILLION HOURS OF HOMECARE TO NEEDY ELDERLY IN THE FORMER SOVIET UNION. OVER 90,000 JEWISH ELDERLY IN NEED RECEIVE SPECIFIC SERVICES FOR THE AGED FROM JDC. 4B: INNOVATIVE SOCIAL SERVICES IN ISRAEL JDC assists vulnerable Jews throughout the world. This mission is crucial in Israel, where a remarkable economic boom has not reached everyone. So JDC provides aid to Israels most vulnerable citizens, including unemployed Israelis, children at risk, elderly and Israelis with disabilities. JDC uses a unique model, which maximizes our impact. We promote innovation, running pilot programs to develop and test more promising ways to deliver social services. If a new idea succeeds, the Israeli government takes over the program and implements it throughout the nation. We use the acronym DNA to describe this approach, since our involvement with a pilot has three stages: 1) design (i.e., coming up with a new idea); 2) nurture (i.e., testing the new program); and 3) accelerate (i.e., if it works, scaling it up and handing it off to be replicated). IN 2018, JDC DIRECTLY IMPACTED OVER 240,000 ISRAELIS, PLUS COUNTLESS OTHERS WHO BENEFIT FROM PROGRAMS THAT HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO SCALE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. 4C: BUILDING JEWISH LIFE PROGRAMS INCLUDE: Leadership Initiatives & Training Developing Voluntarism Camping and Retreats Informal Jewish Education (Clubs and other activities) Jewish Tradition/Religion/Holiday Celebrations Jewish Community Centers Formal Jewish Education (Schools) Educational Activities & Materials (Publications, Curricula, E-learning, Web- resources, Libraries etc) IN 2018, OVER 84,000 JEWS BENEFITTED FROM ACCESS TO JDCS PROGRAMS IN COUNTRIES IN THE FORMER SOVIET UNION, EUROPE, AND LATIN AMERICA, AS WELL AS AN ARRAY OF TRAINING PROGRAMS AROUND THE WORLD. 4D: GLOBAL RESPONSE & INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT (GRID) PROGRAM JDC'S GRID PROGRAM RESPONDS TO HUMANITARIAN CRISES AND NATURAL DISASTERS THROUGH EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND RECOVERY WORK FOR VULNERABLE POPULATIONS PROVIDING FOOD, WATER, MEDICINES AND SHELTER AS WELL AS PSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORT, OPPORTUNITIES TO REGAIN THEIR LIVELIHOODS AND PREPARE FOR FUTURE CRISES. JDC ALSO CONVENES AND COORDINATES THE JEWISH COALITION FOR DISASTER RESPONSE, AN ALLIANCE OF OVER 40 JEWISH AGENCIES THAT RESPOND TO MAJOR GLOBAL CRISES SUCH AS SYRIAN REFUGEES, THE ROHINGYA CRISIS AND MAJOR DISASTERS. 4D: ENTWINE AN INITIATIVE OF JDC, IS A ONE-OF-A-KIND MOVEMENT FOR YOUNG JEWISH LEADERS, INFLUENCERS, AND ADVOCATES WHO SEEK TO MAKE A MEANINGFUL IMPACT ON GLOBAL JEWISH NEEDS AND INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN ISSUES.
