CHEVRA USA, founded in 2001, is a small nonprofit in the Human Services sector that reported $381K in total revenue in fiscal year 2025. Revenue fell 22% from the prior year — a significant decline worth monitoring. Expenses of $432K exceeded revenue, resulting in a 14% operating deficit.

Mission

Chevra USA exists to provide humanitarian aid to Jewish people, many of whom are elderly and Holocaust survivors, in the former Soviet Union, primarily Ukraine, Moldova and Poland, and in Israel. We operate soup kitchens and distribute food parcels to shut-ins, provide warm clothing, medicine and other necessities, and as much as possible, meet the spiritual needs of those we serve.
