What Moishe House does

Moishe House, operating under the umbrella brand Mem Global, is a US-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN: 26-2599786) headquartered in Encinitas, California, with an additional UK-registered charity entity (number 1146150). Founded in 2006, the organization builds peer-led Jewish community for young adults in their 20s and 30s, deploying 800+ volunteer Community Builders who host gatherings in their homes across more than 25 countries. In 2025 the organization reported 81,832 participants across its programs.

The organization's product portfolio is delivered through eight interconnected program brands rather than a single application: Moishe House (city-based home communities), MHWOW (virtual and global peer-led programming), Base (rabbinic-led pluralistic home communities), Mem Global Retreats (weekend learning retreats), Retreatology (retreat-planning skills), Camp Nai Nai Nai (adult summer camp, including Camp East and Nai Cruise variants), Embark (cohort-based program for interfaith couples), and the Jewish Learning Collaborative (personalized learning for Jewish organization staff and board members). The underlying technology stack is described as a community engagement platform with peer-led program delivery; no proprietary AI/ML capabilities, patents, or mobile applications are documented.

Commercially, Mem Global operates as a grant-funded nonprofit rather than a priced-product business. Programs are provided free to participants. The disclosed funding record is dominated by the Jim Joseph Foundation, which supplied cumulative grants of approximately $31.87M across multiple tranches between 2011 and 2022, including a $12M grant in June 2018 and an $11.625M general operating support grant in September 2022. Headcount is reported in the 101-250 range. Distribution relies on word-of-mouth, a volunteer host network, organic social media (Instagram mem.global, Facebook memglobal.org), and partner referrals (e.g., Tribe12Philly for Embark). No public revenue, M&A, regulatory actions, or management team details are evidenced in the input.

• Chabad on Campus: Orthodox Jewish outreach network operating on hundreds of college campuses with peer engagement, Shabbat dinners, and community programming targeting Jewish students and young adults.
• Birthright Israel Foundation: Funds and operates free trips to Israel for Jewish young adults aged 18-32, sharing the same mission of strengthening Jewish identity and community connection in the same demographic.
• Repair the World: Jewish service organization engaging young adults in volunteerism and community-building with a similar peer-led model and target demographic.

Broad incumbents

• JCC Association of North America: Umbrella network of Jewish Community Centers offering programming across ages including young adult programming; a broader incumbent with physical infrastructure overlap but less focused on the 20s-30s demographic.

Others

• Combined Jewish Philanthropies: Major Jewish federation and philanthropic funding body that frequently co-funds and partners with Jewish communal organizations including Moishe House; operates as a funder/ecosystem enabler rather than direct competitor.

Emerging players

• My Jewish Learning / 70 Faces Media: Digital Jewish learning and content platform serving similar adult audiences with Jewish education and engagement — adjacent offering that competes for Jewish young adult attention rather than direct community programming.
