Overview
Mission
Fuel For Truth offers the knowledge, tools, and confidence to have civil and productive conversations about Israel. The answer is yes. We pride ourselves on facilitating an experience that’s inclusive enough to make both the left and the right comfortable, while simultaneously helping each to challenge their own views. As long as you support Israel’s existence as the sovereign, national embodiment of the Jewish people, you’re good here. Beyond that, we genuinely don’t care if you’re a Democrat or Republican, one-stater or two-stater, if you think Israel is too secular or religious, how you feel about the Nation-State Law… Our goal is for you to come to your own positions, for those positions to be deeply considered, and for you to possess the confidence to persuasively articulate them to other people. Do.
What it reported doing in 2024
We offer lectures and talks on a variety of subjects for synagogue gatherings, community meetings, as well as high school and college students seeking empowerment on campus.
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 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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
