What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

B’nai B’rith International is dedicated to improving the quality of life for people around the globe. Founded in 1843 to help needy widows and orphans, B’nai B’rith has continuously evolved over the course of three separate centuries to ensure that wherever there is a need, there is B’nai B’rith. When human rights are threatened, when vulnerable populations like senior citizens need safe housing and representation, when the State of Israel is unfairly maligned at international bodies, when the Jewish community is attacked, when communities are in crisis – B’nai B’rith International, as the Global Voice of the Jewish community, is there to help, speak out and take action.

Our programs

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Senior Housing and Advocacy

Through the B'nai B'rith Center for Senior Services, B'nai B'rith is the largest national Jewish sponsor of federally subsidized housing for the elderly. Through the Center for Human Rights and Public Policy, B'nai B'rith is an internationally respected voice for Jewish concerns. Our official missions at the United Nations and the European Union command influence at the highest diplomatic levels. B'nai B'rith's Center for Community Action involves volunteers in improving their communities and forging stronger bonds with their neighbors. Whether it's providing relief after natural disasters or working shifts at hospitals or firehouses so our Christian friends can spend Christmas with their families, B'nai B'rith is there for neighbors who need us. B'nai B'rith is cultivating the next generation of Jewish leaders through our support for The B'nai B'rith Youth Organization and Hillel Foundations.

Population(s) Served

Seniors

Human Rights and Public Policy

B'nai B'rith has served as an NGO (non-governmental organization) at the United Nations (U.N.) since 1947. Whether an issue is before the Human Rights Council, the Security Council, or on the desk of a U.N. official, B'nai B'rith leaders and staff provide expert testimony and advocacy for Israel and the Jewish population worldwide.

Population(s) Served

Adults

Disaster Relief

The B'nai B'rith commitment to aid humankind grew out of its founders’ decision to create an insurance policy to award members' widows $30 toward funeral expenses, a stipend of one dollar a week for the rest of their lives, a stipend for each child, and the assurance a male child would be taught a trade.

Victims of a Baltimore flood in the mid-1800s were the first recipients of B’nai B’rith disaster relief funds, and the first international assistance project provided funds to Moses Montefiore in 1865 to assist victims of a cholera epidemic in what was then Palestine. B'rith later raised and distributed funds to those affected by the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, the Galveston, Texas, flood of 1900, and the Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
