Overview

Mission

We are American Jews, deeply rooted in the story of our people and the history of our struggle for peace and justice. In our narrative, peace and justice are the birthright of Israelis, of Palestinians, and of all people. We are New Jewish Narrative.

What it reported doing in 2024

The third narrative- founded eleven years ago , the third narrative's mission is to promote a two state solution, peace and justice to israelis and palestinians . Ttn engages people on the left who suspect that it is wrong to lay all blame for the palestinians -israeli conflict at the feet of israeli jews but arent sure how to respond to israel's most vitriolic critics, via its website and network of academics ( aaf ) , ttn distributes materials that have been read in 22 countries, used on campuses, in organized labor and political organizations, as well as in jewish , christian and muslim religious communities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 84% 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 total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad.
