Overview

Mission

The CUFI Action Fund is dedicated to ensuring our elected officials hear the perspective of the millions of Christian Zionists across the country.

What it reported doing in 2024

Cufi action fund will increase the knowledge of christian zionists in order to help them become more effective in defending israel to the public and in Washington. Cufi action fund will instruct approximately 5,000 attendees at a Washington dc meeting on what it takes to effectively influence congress. Cufi action fund will sponsor a day on capitol hill during which every house and senate member would be visited and pro-israel legislative priorities would be promoted by dividing the delegates into hundreds of "teams". In addition, cufi action fund would select over 300 attendees who possessed exceptional communication skills and have wide circles of infuence in their communities to be action fund leaders to receive ongoing training.

Operating model

Revenue model
Investment-supported. 67% of the money available for current operations came from recurring investment income.
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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
