Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

We provide educational and transformative experiences with learning opportunities for Jews of all backgrounds, to learn more about their heritage and how it impacts their lives.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To empower women to change the world through Jewish values that transform communities.

  • Momentum offers a year-long educational experience for women and men which includes a special gift: a highly subsidized 8-day action-packed trip to Israel. Women and men from all parts of the world travel as a group, grow as a group, and continue their journey back to their communities as brothers and sisters, having shared an incredible experience together. Momentum expanded our offerings to include a wide array of programs more easily accessible from anywhere. From podcasts to Yomm, an app connecting women throughout the globe, to web articles, we reached women and men in their daily lives to provide inspiration and Jewish growth. Momentum has opened many different doors in the Jewish journey to our global community.

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.
