Its funding that year was roughly 33% from donations. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $600K.
Compared with 1,247 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 90% of peers. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group.
As a grantmaker, it reported gifts to 43 qualified donees totalling $6.5M in 2024, the largest being $2.7M to Mifal Hashas Foundation Inc.. Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $4.7M in 2020 to $8.6M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 6 names.
