Mission

SEE SCHEDULE O

Activities or mission (Part I)

To ensure the safety, security and resiliency of the Jewish community in North America.

  • Monitoring The Threat Landscape - Our team of analysts uses cutting-edge technology to proactively monitor for, identify, and investigate threats, disseminating actionable intelligence to respond to incidents and build a protective shield over the community. Over 5,400 threat incidents and suspicious activity reports received. Securing Facilities - Our security experts offered 790 no-cost facility assessments and recommendations to fortify facilities against threats, enabling hundreds of Jewish organizations to upgrade their physical security. Our expert grant team guided organizations through the process to obtain more than $27 million in government funding to make those security upgrades possible. Empowering Communities Through Training - Led by safety and security experts, our gold-standard training curriculum empowered more than 58,000 community members with hands-on training and life-saving skills to prevent, respond to, and recover from potential incidents. Coordinating With Law Enforcement - We are the only faith-based entity with a direct line to the FBI. We work closely with federal, state, and local law enforcement partners, facilitating two-way intelligence sharing, coordinating on threat response protocols, and serving as a bridge between Jewish communities and the public safety agencies dedicated to protecting them. Protecting Local Communities - Our local partnerships bring SCN's national model to communities by providing access to on-the-ground security professionals to ensure every community has comprehensive protection, including hands-on training, facility assessments, law enforcement coordination, and incident response. SCN managed security initiatives grew 37% from 24 initiatives in 2022 to 33 in 2023, with regional director coverage increasing to now ensure that 100% of communities in the U.S. have access to one of SCN's regional directors.

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.
