Overview

Mission

Lishmor offers various programs aimed at preventing abuse within the Orthodox community. These programs include awareness events, a Safety Kid program in schools, and training for parents and staff members. Additionally, Lishmor provides initial support to survivors of abuse by connecting them with rabbinic leaders, therapy agencies, social workers, and other resources to ensure they receive the necessary assistance and are properly guided toward the help they need to overcome the effects of abuse.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
