Mission

THE SEC IS DEDICATED TO STRENGTHENING JEWISH INDENTIY FOR YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS, AND TO BUILDING A NEW GENERATION OF SPIRITUAL AND COMMUNITY LEADERS. FROM OUR HISTORIC CAMPUS IN THE OLD CITY OF JERUSALEM TO OUR VARIOUS DIASPORA BRANCHES, THE SEC'S PHILOSOPHY OF CLASSIC SEPHARDIC JUDIASM OFFERS JEWS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT WITH THEIR ROOTS IN A WARM, FRIENDLY AND POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT. AT THE SEC, TRADITION MEETS MODERNITY, AND THE TIMELESS VALUES OF INTELLECT, UNITY, COMPASSION AND TOLERANCE BLEND TO CREATE A MEANINGFUL CONNECTION TO JUDIASM, ISRAEL, AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE.

Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

People paid by the organization

1 person paid across every filing: current people first, then by total pay from this organization. Organizations counts every nonprofit each person appears on.

Officers and directors, no compensation reported

9 people listed on the returns with $0 (or no amount) in every compensation column: current people first. Hours are as filed on the latest return each person appears on.

People by year

Highest-paid independent contractors

No independent contractors reported.

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Funders of this organization

11 grantors reported grants to this organization, $1,932,806 in all, tax years 2009 to 2024. Exact: the grantor wrote this organization's EIN. Fuzzy: the grantor wrote only a name (foundations' 990-PF has no EIN field), matched to the same or a near-identical name in the same state; the name as filed is shown. From the latest return for each grantor and year, so amended returns aren't counted twice. CSV

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
