Overview

Mission

Jesus revealed that the heart of the Torah is to love God and to love our neighbor. This is also the heart of our ministry. Torah Today applies timeless wisdom to life here and now by exploring God’s word and learning to live within His kingdom principles. There is also a growing hunger among Jews and Gentiles around the world to get past empty religious forms and engage with the spiritual essence of their faiths. External ritual is no substitute for spiritual reality. The teachings of Torah Today will help reveal the living heart of God’s Word in a way that will provide spiritual sustenance to the hungry seeker. Our History Grant Luton was born and raised in the Akron, Ohio area and has a teaching career that has spanned thirty years, including one year in England as a Fulbright Scholar.

What it reported doing in 2025

Teaching scriptures and equipping believers for service.

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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
