Overview

Mission

Produce innovative Jewish learning events

What it reported doing in 2025

The ninth annual Limmud Seattle Festival was held on April 19 & 26, 2026. The event was a success with over 250 participants participating on one or both days with more than 80% choosing to attend in-person. We also held three Living Room Learning events throughout the fiscal year with approximately 50 people participating at each one.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
