Tikvah is a US-based 501(c)3 public charity, and donations to Tikvah are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
Tikvah’s bylaws require a permanent Finance Committee, which, together with Tikvah’s Board of Trustees, maintains the highest standards of nonprofit financial management and governance.
The Finance Committee oversees the critical areas of operating finances, internal controls and levels of authority, the annual budgeting process, and Tikvah’s investments and money management. Separately, the audit committee oversees Tikvah’s annual audit process and general risk management.
