Overview

Mission

Jvp action is a multiracial, intergenerational movement of jews and allies dedicated to promoting justice, equality, and human rights in the middle east by advocating for changes in u.s. Policy that advance the common good and general welfare.

What it reported doing in 2024

Provided support, training, educational resources, and strategic support to a grassroots base of volunteers to engage in congressional organizing and advocacy efforts. Worked with partner organizations and grassroots volunteers to educate policymakers and the public about issues relating to human rights and equality in palestine/israel, and to advocate for congressional support of legislation advancing these values. In keeping with its 501(c)(4) status, the nonprofit is also engaged in limited political campaign-related activities, including endorsing a small group of congressional candidates whose platforms aligned with our mission, encouraged grassroots engagement in the electoral process, and educated candidates on relevant policy issues.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 92% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
