Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Enriching the lives of Jewish students so they may enrich the Jewish people and the world.

  • San Luis Obispo Hillel offers a wide variety of programs to students and the general community. These activities are planned by student leaders and our staff to create an inspiring array of Jewish cultural and religious activities. We do not discriminate among the many types of Judaism or those who are interested in Jewish traditions and culture. Jewish Life - We celebrate Shabbat, Havdalah and Holidays together. We bring in speakers on Jewish topics and engage in Jewish cultural experiences. We provide safe space for students to share their personal issues. We convene interfaith dialogue with the campus community partners and provide support to those who experience anti-Semitism. Israel - San Luis Obispo Hillel fosters a connection to Israel. Students travel to Israel, participate in Israel related activities on campus and engage in discussions with key individuals on topics related to Israel.General Programming - We host Kosher BBQs, socials, beach days, craft nights, game and trivia nights, just to name a few. We go on hikes, host yoga and meditation classes, organize retreats, support students and provide study and discussion sessions. This is all done to provide a safe space for students to mingle and establish a sense of community and family while away from home.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 9 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Not present in the most recent drop.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
