Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

The Women's International Zionist Organization (WIZO) is a non-party/ apolitical international movement dedicated to the advancement of the status of women, welfare for all sectors of Israeli society, and encouragement of Jewish education in Israel and in the Diaspora.

Our goals are to provide for the welfare of infants, children, youth, women and the elderly, to advance the status of women in Israel, to strengthen the bond between world Jewry and the State of Israel, and to support the absorption of new immigrants.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

Our strategies for meeting our goals include carrying out major annual fundraising events, which raise the funds necessary to meet the financial requirements of our projects and programs in Israel. Once we are sure that those quota needs are met, we employ different fundraising techniques to provide additional funding. One example of this is our B'nai Mitzvah campaign, which allows Bat or Bar Mitzvah aged children to choose a project or program that requires funding, and dedicate the gifts from her or his Bat/Bar Mitzvah to that project or program. Recently, a B'Nai Mitzvah participant raised the funds to build a Dance Studio in WIZO's Nachlat Yehuda Youth Village. Other strategies include providing support to all national and international chapters- sharing successes and fundraising tools and initiatives.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

Our capabilities include dedicated members who serve on our board of directors, and who actively direct the mission of WIZO and the implementation of our programs. The board selects dedicated administrative professionals to work on fundraising, including organizing the extensive charity-raising opportunities available to WIZO. WIZO USA has numerous chapters which chapters thrive in cities with both strong economies, and strong Jewish leaders. With successful chapters and subchapters in New York, Florida, and California, WIZO USA has proven its capacity by not only meeting fundraising goals, but by consistently exceeding those goals, particularly in times of emergency or pressing need.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

WIZO USA is extremely proud of its accomplishments, and as referred to above, our board both tracks our accomplishments, and addresses the fundraising requirements for additional programs consistent with our mission. Of course, more can always be done, and we are never able to fund as many programs as we would like to. For that reason, we work hard to attract funds and satisfy our donor base that their generous contributions are being carefully used for the purposes that form the basis of their donations.

We are proud to be at the forefront of social welfare issues in Israel, and we aim to accomplish more by continuing to focus on this mission.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

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.

GuideStar partnered with Equity in the Center - an organization that works to shift mindsets, practices, and systems to increase racial equity - to create this section. Learn more

Data

We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.

Policies and processes

We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
