Overview

Mission

Accord's mission is to promote peace and reconciliation between the Abrahamic faiths - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - through a variety of seminars, service projects and educational tours in the Middle East.

What it reported doing in 2025

Mental Health Initiative- Engages licensed professional counselors to provide acute therapeutic care for families, women, and children who have been victims of trauma due to ISIS's invasion of Iraq and other warfare in the Middle East. The MHI provides practical resources to help people navigate the grief and pain of these experiences.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
