Overview
Mission
Preserving the Jewish history of Long Island. Our previous exhibit, 101 Jewish Long Islanders, ran from November 2023 to November 2024 celebrating a selection of well known personalities and lesser known individuals who were raised on Long Island or at some point in their lives called Long Island home. Through a collection of artifacts, displays, and biographies these noteworthy Jewish Long Islanders were highlighted based on their prominence in fields ranging from arts and entertainment to fashion, sports and the military. Location: Sid Jacobson JCC.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 87% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
