Cookies are small text files placed on your browser to make our site function properly. We categorize our cookies as follows:

Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

These cookies are mandatory and are deployed automatically without requiring prior consent. They handle basic site security, user authentication sessions, and keep you logged into your premium Ghost membership dashboard. Disabling these via your browser settings will break core site functionalities.

Right to Rectification: You can update or correct your personal account details at any time.

5. Humanitarian Advocacy Disclaimer

5. Humanitarian Advocacy & Third-Party Donation Disclaimer

This platform features informational and advocacy content regarding the Swaida American Society and the global Druze community.

Because JFPA Action is a private NGO advocacy group and not a legally registered public NPO, we do not personally solicit, accept, process, or distribute direct charitable donations, nor do we issue tax-deductible receipts.

All financial support and humanitarian aid promoted on this platform are handled exclusively and externally through the verified, fully compliant legal banking pipelines and 501(c)(3) infrastructures of our respective partner charitable organizations. Users who choose to donate do so directly to those external entities under their independent terms of service.
