When you support JED, your gift has a dramatic impact on teens and young adults. They receive emotional support, connectedness, and the skills and perspective to put their own mental health first. There are many ways you can support our life-changing work.
We take stewardship of your gift very seriously. This year, The Jed Foundation (JED) received its sixth consecutive 4-star rating from Charity Navigator. Attaining a 4-star rating, the highest possible rating, means that JED “exceeds industry standards…adheres to sector best practices, and executes its mission in a financially efficient way.” It also demonstrates JED’s commitment to accountability and stewardship of donor contributions. Only 13% of charities evaluated by Charity Navigator have received six consecutive 4-star evaluations.
JED is also a Platinum-level participant with GuideStar, demonstrating our commitment to transparency, and an accredited charity by the Better Business Bureau.
