Overview

Mission

To ensure a bright future for Jewish journalism.

What it reported doing in 2024

Throughout 2024, we organized engaging webinars that drew strong attendance from both members and non-members, while also expanding member benefits. Our organization proudly ended the year with a total of 116 members.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 73% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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. Assets have declined or grown slowly.
