Mission

See Schedule O.

  • Museum Collections & Exhibitions: In 2024 the Museum continued to explore Jewish culture and civic engagement in the Nations capital. It expanded its archival collections significantly, which currently includes 1,566 objects, 40,000 photographs, and over 1,000 linear feet of archival material, by connecting with community members and collecting artifacts, photographs, and documents, preserving them for posterity and broadening the stories the Museum can tell about the Washington Jewish experience. The museum presented two traveling exhibitions, Ill Have What Shes Having: The Jewish Deli and JewCE: The Jewish Comics Experience, which our curators enhanced with stories and artifacts from the Washington region. Nearly 23,000 visitors explored the Museum in 2024.

    Expenses $2,135,885

  • Public & Educational Programs: We engage Jewish and non-Jewish adults, families, schools, and students in programs and events throughout the region, including tours, panel discussions, school visits, community-building events, lectures, and workshops. In 2024, we have hosted nearly 900 students on school tours and more than 6,800 individuals for programs and events.

    Expenses $838,400 · Revenue $252,831

  • Communications: We continue to increase communication about the core and special exhibitions, public and educational programming at the Museum, and digital educational resources available on our website.

    Expenses $402,183

The first 25 listed. 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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

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 11 November 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.
