“The form 990 is prepared by an outside accounting firm. The draft is reviewed by staff and sent to those individuals charged with governance.

“The conflict of interest policy is annually re-visited with the staff and the board of directors. Each individual needs to list conflicts of interest and sign a conflict of interest policy and disclosure when they come onboard. The organization keeps them on file with the development team who oversees the board activities. If a conflict arises, the affected person promptly discloses any direct or indirect financial, or other material of interest, which he/she has knowledge of any proposed or existing arrangement with moishe house prior to the start of any negotiations with respect to such matter. The chairperson of the board refers the issue to the full board, the executive committee, or other board committee having decision-making authority over the substantive matter in question. The insider who discloses a pontential conflict may make a presentation and respond to questions by the board or committee, but after such presentation, he or she leaves the meeting during the discussion of, and vote on, the arrangement.”

“Part ix, lines 24a, 24b, and 24c report rent subsidies, direct programming, and retreat center expenses. Those expenses were incurred in providing the following services: moishe houses and pods - moishe houses and pods are made up of 2-5 volunteers who live in houses that are partially subsidized by moishe house. These homes serve as centers of jewish communal life for young jewish adults (specifically in their 20s and 30s). Residents create multiple programs each month based on their own and their community's interests while remaining rooted in jewishness. Individual houses and pods can partner with other organizations to further build local jewish community. A significant cost for running the house and pod programs is rent subsidy. Moishe house does not co-sign on any apartment or house lease. Moishe houses/pods are eligible to receive up to one-third (for pods), three-fourths (for houses) or $3,000 (whichever comes first) in rent subsidy. Additional program costs include reimbursements. We've standardized the monthly maximum based on the number of programs each house runs ($300-$525). Reimbursements would be both non-perishable and perishable items (office supplies, educational materials, decorations, food) and educator or facilitator honorariums. Houses/pods are also able to apply for optional additional funding for specific holidays, jewish learning, large scale programing (up to an additional $500), or social justice/community service programming. Mhwow - mhwow hosts (former moishe house residents and jewish learning retreat attendees) are program volunteers who host meaningful jewish events for their surrounding communities. Costs for this program include travel for retreats, costs of events (food and beverage, educators, art supplies, decor, educational materials), tickets to events (museums, movies, other local activities), and scholarships (primarily for jewish learning experiences). Peer-led retreats - participants partake in a specialized training designed to help them create and execute their own unique peer-led retreat. This program gives grants up to $6,000 to facilitators globally to create retreats around aspects of judaism they are passionate about in their local community. Through this, facilitators are able to build lasting connections that go beyond the retreat weekend and encourage participants to experience jewishness in new ways. Costs for this program include reimbursements for contractors (usually folks who serve as guest educators, or logistical support), program supplies (including copies, books, nametags, swag, art/office supplies, online platforms, marketing etc.), food (during event), venues, and facilitator honorariums. Fiscal sponsorships - we currently have two fiscal sponsorships: the open dor project and righteous crowd. The open dor project is designed to further the creation and development of new and emerging models of jewish spiritual community around the country. This is done by providing up to three years of operational funding to entrepreneurial jewish clergy to create and grow independent, welcoming, and sustainable spiritual communities that inspire individuals, couples, and families to actively live vibrant jewish lives. Righteous crowd is a platform that connects the jewish community to small and innovative not-for-profits doing exceptional work. They crowdfund $1/day from their members, and each week, distribute the collective donations to a different organization.”
