Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

The organization for the Resolution of Agunot (ORA) seeks to eliminate abuse from the Jewish divorce process. ORA works within the parameters of Jewish law and civil law to advocate for the timely and unconditional issuance of a get. ORA believes that the protracted refusal to issue or receive a get is a form of domestic abuse which must never be tolerated. ORA seeks to foster a Jewish community in which a get is never used as a weapon. ORA pursues its mission through agunah case advocacy, early intervention programs, and educational initiatives for agunah prevention.

  • Assisted individuals who have been denied a Jewish religious divorce by advocating for a timely and unconditional issuance and receipt of a Jewish religious divorce within the parameters of Jewish and civil law.

    Expenses $527,963

  • Conducted educational programs and initiatives in schools, colleges, synagouges and community forums to educate participants about Jewish divorce refusal, domestic abuse, and the Jewish prenuptial agreement for the prevention of Jewish divorce refusal.

    Expenses $13,383 · Revenue $9,483

  • Implemented a Jewish divorce resource phone line for individuals in the Jewish community facing divorce, called "One Step Forward." This resource line provided Jewish divorce information, strategic guidance, and emotional support to callers, as well as connecting callers with a wide range of legal, emotional and financial resources. This helpline provides guidance, support and referrals to more than 300 callers per year.

    Expenses $88,550

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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

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

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

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

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

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.
