The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ) is a tax-exempt, non-profit 501 (c) 3 founded by a rabbi in 1983 as a way to “bless Israel and the Jewish people around the world with humanitarian care and life-saving aid” while “building bridges between Christians and Jews.”

How NPR Spends Revenue (2024)

NPR (National Public Radio) – the radio station that people love to love or love to hate- is a non-profit, tax-exempt 501 (c) (3) organization that works with its member stations to foster a more informed public by providing a deeper understanding of events, ideas, and cultures.  In the news recently, criticized by conservatives for having a leftist slant, NPR has challenges in convincing the public of its nonpartisan reporting of the news.

Based in Washington, DC, NPR is also noteworthy for its on air fundraising although most people would be surprised to learn that public support in the form of contributions, gifts, and grants is not the number one source of revenue. Instead, program service revenue (station programming fees, digital media sponsorships, membership dues from member stations, distribution, and digital services) is the primary source of revenue for NPR followed by contributions, gifts, and grants.  So, the viability of NPR’s future rests with the stations that purchase their content and the support of the public.

So, if you gave $100 to NPR, how was it spent? Read more »

Almond Horn Cookies (Vegan and Refined Sugar Free)

I have always loved crescent or horseshoe-shaped Almond Horn Cookies which are really just almonds, sugar, and egg whites (although these cookies are often finished with chocolate dipped ends).  From a nutrition standpoint, I am not offended by egg whites (I prefer not to support the animal agriculture industry)  but I avoid refined sugar and prefer date sugar which is just dates. Unable to find a vegan version of this icon of a cookie, I took the standard recipe from @sivanskitchen and made adjustments: Read more »
