Overview

Mission

Shalom Ministries Inc. was founded in 1996 to reach the Jewish people of the New York metropolitan area and partner with local churches worldwide to train members in Jewish evangelism and in understanding Jewish customs and culture—so believers are better equipped to witness among Jewish friends and understand the proper place of Israel from a biblical perspective.

What it reported doing in 2024

We are a gospel mission seeking to reach out to jewish and gentile people with the good news that jesus christ is the messiah of israel and the savior of the world, while edifying people about the jewish roots of christianity.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 96% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
