Overview

Mission

At the core of our work is a shared commitment to 10 values that underpin our programs and organizational identity. These values manifest our vision for a Jewish community more connected, more inclusive, and more empowered.

What it reported doing in 2025

Global day of jewish learning - cultivating, training and supporting grassroots teams of organizers in developing and executing limmud programs in their networks.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 67% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
