Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

To engage and enrich the lives of Jewish undergraduate and graduate students so that they may enrich the Jewish people and the world by empowering students to build vital Jewish communities on campus and inspire them to embrace a future of hope and possibility formed by Jewish values. By offering a wide array of social, educational, social action, artistic, cultural, Israeli and religious programs, the Organization inspires students to embark on their own personal journey and to find a connection to their Jewish heritage.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Inspiring vibrant Jewish life on Georgia college campuses.

  • Community building - Hillel engages and empowers students in meaningful public service and inspires students to address social justice issues creatively. Through a variety of volunteer projects, students are able to explore Jewish values and social justice. Engaging and empowering students in meaningful public service provides opportunities to enrich the lives of the students and expose them to ways of becoming involved in the communities in which they live and beyond. Participation in social action activities encourages students to act out the Jewish value of Tikkun olam (repairing the world). Programming in this area includes but is not limited to: leading Shabbat services at the William Breman Jewish Home, "Challah for hunger," tree planting for Tu b'Shvat, and alternative break trips.

    Expenses $1,154,565 · Revenue $1,200

  • Jewish living and learning - Hillel fosters Jewish student growth by developing a variety of Jewish religious and spiritual communities, celebrating Jewish holidays and Shabbat in a pluralistic and open environment, and exploring our rich traditions and culture through creative activities and memorable experiences; we want our students to grow Jewishly. By offering a variety of religious and spiritual opportunities, students will be able to develop an understanding of Judaism's many forms (ex. Religious observance and practice). Students will also have the ability to link the meaning and relevance of Jewish history and traditions to Jewish life today. Programming in this area includes but is not limited to: text study, lunch and learn, and Shabbat and holiday observance.

    Expenses $793,765 · Revenue $4,917

  • Israel - Hillel cultivates among Jewish students a passion about Israel and a sense of personal attachment with the country and its people. Hillel provides all students opportunities to learn about Israel and its central role in defining the Jewish experience today and provides a safe space for students to express a wide spectrum of views regarding their relationships with Israel. By fostering a positive relationship with Israel and helping students navigate the contours of the political tensions surrounding Israel, Hillel can help students grow in their relationship with the Jewish community with greater maturity and deeper sense of attachment to the Jewish homeland. See continuation on Sch O.With that comes a greater confidence in their sense of self as Jews and in their ability to convey their commitment to Israel and Jewish life to others with passion. Programming in this area includes but is not limited to: outdoor cultural festivals, advocacy sessions, speakers, film screenings, and travel abroad.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
