Overview

Mission

To give students experiences in and exposure to a community of friends and mentors in a jewish culture that explores life, locates meaning, and develops a sense of purpose.

What it reported doing in 2024

Not-shabbat / holiday programming: this series of experiences rounds out the jewish calendar year, offering students rich communal celebrations around holidays including the high holy days, chanukah, purim, and passover. Through these programs, students build jewish literacy, deepen their connection to tradition, and develop a lasting sense of belonging within the hillel community.

Operating model

Revenue model
Affiliate-supported. 79% of the money available for current operations came from contributions from related organizations.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 86% 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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
