Mission and programs · 2024

• Core Collection - The Museum features two core exhibitions. An American Story chronicles the immigrant experience, development of Cleveland, Civil Rights Movement, and the Holocaust. The Temple-Tifereth Israel Gallery displays the internationally renowned collection of Judaica from its namesake synagogue. Tours of the collections include the topics of immigration and assimilation, the Holocaust and Civil Rights Movement, Cleveland history, and Jewish faith and traditions. Students in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District also receive free admission, ensuring that cost is never a barrier to experiencing the Museum. As part of its core collection, The Maltz Museum is now home to two interactive biographies, of a Holocaust survivor and of a civil rights activist. Through advanced filming techniques, specialized display technologies, and natural language processing, the experiences of these two upstanders against hate have been preserved in a format that allows audiences to interact with their images as if they were actually present in the same room. For years to come, visitors will see these upstanders in high-definition, hear their voices, absorb their eyewitness accounts of history in the making, and draw inspiration from their courage and commitment to nonviolent change.

  Expenses $2,145,387 · Revenue $98,979

• Special Exhibitions - The Museum has presented 43 special exhibitions, including 3 in fiscal year 2025, the content of which has varied from Rube Goldberg to the Holocaust.

  Expenses $157,733 · Revenue $39,905

• Stop the Hate - Every year the Stop the Hate program gives thousands of students across Northeast Ohio a means of understanding and responding to acts of bias and hate in their own communities. Through museum tours, teaching-artist workshops, creative projects, and contests culminating in an awards ceremony, this program targets students in middle and high school, an impressionable age for learning the critical thinking skills and empathy they will need to lead their communities to a more accepting, inclusive future. The Museum prioritizes the needs of students from underserved school districts by providing free transportation and admission to all Stop the Hate workshop participants.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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.

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.
