Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

  • Sabbath and Holiday Programming: Hillel works with students to create meaningful Sabbath and holiday experiences. An average of 50+ students participate in Sabbath programming each week, and more than 500 unique students participated in Sabbath and holiday programming over the course of the year. In addition to community Sabbath and holiday programming, Hillel empowers and helps students to celebrate these occasions with their peers and in the spaces that are most comfortable to them.

    Expenses $132,709 · Revenue $4,328

  • Jewish Learning: Nearly 100 students participated in semester-long learning fellowships that explored topics such as Life's Big Questions and Pursuing Justice, all through the lens of Jewish tradition and thought. Dozens more students participated in one-off educational events.

  • Engagement Initiatives: Hillel facilitates a wide range of programming designed to engage students with the campus Jewish community, and members of the Hillel staff spend time each day building one-on-one relationships with students to help them find pathways to involvement.

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.

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

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.

What this page reflects
