What American Jewish Medical Association does
Mission
Ajma advocates to address contemporary issues affecting our members and society, including recently rising incidents of antisemitism and anti-zionism that impact the workplace and patient care. We leverage our unified voice to stand strongly with israel, to promote jewish values and ethics in medicine, and to combat antisemitism within the medical community. Ajma is the sole nationwide us organization representing jewish medical students, physicians, and other health professionals. Ajma has groups organized by location, speciality, and special interest, and a wide variety of very active committees. Ajma's personal and professional commitment is to healing as part of tikkun olam, repairing the world, a core jewish value. Ajma seeks to uphold the hippocratic oath by ensuring safe and excellent medical care for patients of all faiths.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Ajma provides educational programs on issues and topics of interest to our membership. These include antisemitism in healthcare, cultural competency in treating jewish patients, and jewish medical ethics.

$110,857 spent$8,214 earned by the program67% of program spendingAjma holds in person and virtual events to build community among jewish healthcare professionals and students.

To address issues within medical associations, ajma leverages its national voice representing thousands of jewish healthcare professionals and trainees to combat statements, resolutions, and stances at various medical associations that have been hijacked by protestor mentalities and false narratives. Ajma also works with local chapters and other jewish organizations to turn the current climate into an educational opportunity. We educate administrators and peers about the source, meaning, and dangers of antisemitism; how zionism is central to jewish identity; and how significantly israel contributes to medicine. Critically, we work to ensure antisemitism is considered on its own, without being socially weighed against anti-muslim and anti-arab biases. Ajma also seeks to support and protect individual victims of antisemitism - be they patients, professionals, or trainees, no matter their seniority or discipline. We advise on processes within…

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
5 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of AMERICAN JEWISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
AMERICAN JEWISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 67% of grant income and the top three 93%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund AMERICAN JEWISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of AMERICAN JEWISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $213k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
