In 2023 we grew our community of Fellows from 28 to 38, supported new connections between and among cohorts, and supported each Fellow to develop a project to translate what theyve learned into impact in their communities. We held our annual in-person retreat in August, where we deepened our work together with a combination of study, practices, discussion, and storytelling. We also offered all cohort programs special guest speakers, and began to offer some alumni key contract professional roles to support our work. 185339 Witness Toolkit Website: We continued to develop our new website to serve as a digital repository for our content, so that our community of Fellows, alumni, advisors, and program partners can access the texts and tools we have developed over the past several years. We designed the site to serve as well for others seeking accessible, engaging, and effective tools and resources for conversations about contemporary issues, as we explore new public programs. All other programs and initiatives. 458466 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 true 1 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 3 2 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false MD X Ariel Burger 7812019898 17 Bond St Sharon MA 02067 Ariel Burger Executive Director 40.00 0.00 X X 175000 0 0 Todd Sukol Vice President 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Elisha Wiesel President 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 175000 0 0 2 false true false 513176 513176 513176 0 0 0 68334 68334 33069 33069 211007 168806 10550 31651 20645 18996 1187 462 12262 9810 613 1839 36500 29200 3650 3650 17868 17868 33000 33000 The Witness Fellowship Progo 82615 71638 10977 Public Leanring Program 67594 58613 8981 Round Off Adjustment 1 1 582895 458466 53827 70602 107981 72130 89768 54950 197749 127080 2596 8821 2596 8821 X 155153 33259 40000 85000 195153 118259 197749 127080 -69719 -7175 0 X true X false false false X 694824 513176 1208000 694824 513176 1208000 1208000 0 0 694824 513176 1208000 1.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Fellowship Stipend Europe including Iceland and Greenland 3 16667 Ach Fellowship Stipend Sub-Saharan Africa 2 16402 Wire false false false false false false X X X X X X true Fellowship Stipend 13 68334 Monitoring procedures (Part I, line 2) They were not grants, they were stipends to the Fellows that participated in the Witness Fellowship Program. false false false false false false Ariel Burger Executive Director 175000 175000 Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11 The Copy of the 990 was provided to the governing Body for them to review prior to filing the form 990.

General explanation attachment Part I-1 Continued: We do this through a unique set of methodologies which we make available through an intensive and selective 15-month Fellowship for emerging leaders, as well as through public offerings.Elie Wiesel taught us that the opposite of a witness is a spectator, someone who views the world and its suffering at a distance. A witness, by contrast, feels responsible and empowered to make a difference, in small and big ways, with commitment, compassion, and courage. How do we change and grow, how do we move from being spectators to becoming witnesses? All our work responds to this critically important question.
