Formed in 2014, the St. John Committee raises vital funds for the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta’s humanitarian efforts around the world. Led and run entirely by volunteers, our work directly supports the most vulnerable among us.

The Order of Malta is one of the oldest institutions of Western and Christian civilization. A lay religious order of the Catholic Church since 1113 and a subject of international law, the Sovereign Order of Malta has diplomatic relations with over 100 states and the European Union, and permanent observer status at the United Nations. It is neutral, impartial and apolitical. Today, the Order of Malta is active in 120 countries caring for people in need through its medical, social and humanitarian works. Across the world, the Order of Malta is dedicated to the preservation of human dignity and the care of all those in need, regardless of their origin or religion. 

The Committee operates under the aegis of the Order of Malta American Association, which is registered in the United States as a tax-exempt §501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation, and is run under the Association’s NYC Area. Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowable by law.
