Overview
Mission
Fight antisemitism, defend israel and inspire jewish pride. Through media, social media, culture, events and education, eighteen leverages technology and targeted funding to amplify impact and exemplify what it means to be a loud and proud jew and zionist.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
