Overview

Mission

Yeshiva chosein yehoshua is a religious post high school program that dedicates itself to providing students with a warm and family oriented environment as well as a long lasting connection to their teachers and mentors to continue guiding them through life.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 81% 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

STRONG - 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
