Overview
Mission
Every Shabbos, thousands of Jews across Los Angeles rely on the Los Angeles Community Eruv to bring babies to shul, push strollers to friends, attend simchas, host guests, visit family, and fully participate in Jewish life; for elderly and disabled community members, the eruv is described as what keeps them connected to the community each week.
What it reported doing in 2024
Review, Repair and Maintenance of the entire perimeter of the Eruv Structure by qualified and ordained Rabbis on a weekly basis.
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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
