Overview

Mission

Just Vision educates the public by raising awareness on Israel-Palestine through nonpartisan, independent, and evidenced-based storytelling and strategic audience engagement to promote constructive dialogue and understanding.

The production of documentaries and journalism that raise awareness on Israel-Palestine for widespread distribution on TV, journalism online, and through community outreach to US, Israeli and Palestinian audiences.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 90% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
