Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Programs described in its return (1)
- $8,354 spent. The Festival featured continuous nationally acclaimed entertainment. Over 1000 attendees enjoyed Kosher, Deli-style, and Mediterranean food. We have arts, crafts, packaged foods, and Judaica vendors, Jewish Organization booths, speakers, and exhibits, including a Holocaust Memorial and Jewish Hall of Fame. Our Jewish Hall of Fame is a multidimensional display that includes an Israel exhibition, as well as a Shtetl exhibit, Torahs, the history of Jewish life in Volusia County, and much more. Children's entertainment was available throughout the day, including a Matzoh-making interactive demonstration, inflatables, face painting, a balloon artist, a petting zoo, and our signature camel rides. You may even run into Moses and other biblical characters! The Festival expresses the heart and soul of Jewish Florida. For a single day, it intertwines the sounds, sights, and spirit of Jewish culture and weaves together every facet of the Jewish Community, young and old, singles and families, regardless of their religious and cultural background. Like other cultural festivals, we share our heritage with others. The event is held every other year. The next event is scheduled in 2026.
