The Blue Card was founded in 1934 in Germany to help Jews fleeing Nazi oppression. The organization got its name from the original blue cards that were issued. Each time a donation was made, a stamp was put on the card to keep a record.

Today, when many Jewish community funds support memorials for the Holocaust, education programs, and other causes, The Blue Card has only one mission; that mission, is to get much-needed funds either on an emergency basis or as an ongoing stipend to indigent needy Holocaust survivors.

To date, The Blue Card has provided over 20 million dollars to thousands upon thousands of survivors and their families. In 2010, The Blue Card distributed almost $1,300,000 in financial grants to all of its dependents. Last year, The Blue Card helped more than 1,800 Holocaust survivors in need; two thirds of whom live in the greater New York area.
