Overview

Mission

Women of the shoah brings communities together through she wouldn't take off her boots, North Carolina's holocaust monument dedicated to honoring the resilience and humanity of women and children impacted by the holocaust. Our public art initiatives are designed to educate, inform, and challenge viewers' perspectives on the holocaust, antisemitism, racism, and all acts of genocide affecting women and children.

What it reported doing in 2024

Education about women of the shoahwomen of the shoah developed a holocaust education curriculum centered on the monument's themes for middle and high school students. The organization also offers teacher fellowships, docent training, and public programming at the monument site.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
