Overview

Mission

The jewish community council provides educational, cultural, physical and social programs and a multitude of services for the corpus christi community.

What it reported doing in 2024

Kindergarten has a preparatory curriculum to qualify children for the gifted and talented program in the public school system. Enrollment averages around 100 students.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 96% 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

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.
