How the money works
From the Form 990 for the calendar year 2024 (Jan 2024 – Dec 2024) — read the filing ↗.
Where the money came from
Total revenue $25.4M
- Contributions & grants$6.4M25%
- Program service revenueFees, tuition and other payments for services$17.7M70%
- Interest & dividends$237K<1%
- Gains or losses on investments sold$11K<1%
- Other revenueNet income from fundraising events, rent, royalties and miscellaneous income$999K4%
Other revenue is net of a $73K loss on fundraising events: the events' direct costs exceeded what the Form 990 counts as event revenue. (Gifts made at events are counted under contributions.)
How it was spent, by purpose
Total expenses $23.5M
- Program services$15.9M68%
- Management & general$6.4M27%
- Fundraising$1.1M5%
- Grants to organizations & individuals
- $850K · 4% of expenses
- Salaries & officer compensation
- $12.3M · 52% of expenses
The three purposes above add up to total expenses. Grants and pay are a different way of slicing the same spending — they fall within those purposes — so they're listed separately, not added on.
Percentages are shares of the total reported on the Form 990, not of the lines shown. Figures are as filed, rounded for display.
Common questions
What is Shalom Austin?
Shalom Austin's office is in Austin, Texas. JFNA's Federation directory assigns it 157 ZIP codes — the office location alone doesn't tell you who it serves. Its calendar lists 39 upcoming community events, the next on Wed, Oct 7, plus services, holiday dates or meetings you can filter to below.
What area does Shalom Austin serve?
The Federation's office is in Austin, but an office location doesn't define a service area. JFNA's Federation directory assigns it 157 ZIP codes; enter yours in the FedFinder finder to see which Federation that directory lists for your address, and confirm with the Federation if you live near the edge of its area.
How do I get in touch with Shalom Austin?
Use the form on this page. It comes to FedFinder first, and with your permission we forward it to Shalom Austin. FedFinder can't guarantee a reply — how and whether to respond is up to the Federation. Its own website is www.shalomaustin.org.
Do I need to be a member or a donor to take part?
Often not — many Federation programs, volunteer projects and newcomer activities are open to the wider community. Some events are for donors, members or particular groups, so check each listing's eligibility and registration with the host.
What events does Shalom Austin have coming up?
39 upcoming community events are listed, starting with "October 7 Commemoration" on Wed, Oct 7. Check eligibility and registration with the host before you go.
How large is Shalom Austin?
Its most recent IRS Form 990, for the calendar year 2024, reported $25,370,879 in revenue — the largest by revenue of the 7 Texas Federations that publish IRS filings. It had 674 employees and made $850K in grants that year. Revenue measures size, not effectiveness or impact. A Federation files after its fiscal year closes, and FedFinder adds each new return as soon as the IRS publishes it.
Is Shalom Austin hiring?
25 roles posted in the last 120 days are listed on AllJewishJobs, including Year-Round Lifeguard. Confirm a role is still open on the listing.
