Overview

Mission

Next: a division of birthright israel foundation builds on the birthright israel experience by creating opportunities for birthrighters and their peers to deepen their connection to judaism, jewish communities, the jewish people, and israel.

What it reported doing in 2015

Peer-led Platform: More than 300,000 young Jewish adults living in the U.S. have experienced a Birthright Israel trip. We capitalize on this opportunity by stepping in to harness the "spark" lit on a trip, and turn it into a lifelong Jewish journey. We do this by connecting Birthrighters and their peers to each other and to Jewish opportunities in both their local communities and nationally. We also empower them to create their own Jewish experiences like Shabbat and Jewish holiday celebrations for their friends by providing resources and small subsidies. Regional work: To have an impact across the country, NEXT consults with Jewish communities and engagement professionals so they can better engage young Jewish adults. We convene them multiple times per year and provide ongoing resources, consultation, and support so that they are prepared to effectively engage Birthrighters and their peers. With them, we incubate new projects to create more opportunities for young Jewish adults to dee

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 94% 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. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
