Overview

Mission

The mission of the organization is to enrich the lives of jewish undergraduate and graduate students so that they may enrich the jewish people and the world.

What it reported doing in 2024

Cohort based learning fellowships three different groups totaling 90 students participated in 10-, 6- and 4- week experiential, conversational seminars for students who wish to deepen their understanding of themselves and their connection to judaism while cultivating empathy for a world full of complex human experiences. Through the prism of ancient jewish texts, "jewish learning" fellows address lifes biggest questions, drawing on the life experiences and intuition of students to explore what jewish tradition has to say about contemporary issues. "kol yisrael" is for students to explore big ideas and questions regarding israel. Employing an inquiry-centered model, students explore diverse perspectives and views from the israeli landscape while utilizing universal values. This cohort enables learners to encounter others perspectives in a genuine way while also authentically bringing their own voices to the conversation. "four the moment" is an accessible, down-to- earth approach to support students in deepening connections to the jewish sabbath through a hands-on learning experience. The emphasis is breaking down barriers, culminating with an oncampus communal dinner experience designed and led by the cohort.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 65% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
