US giving: 10% of grant dollars ($743k). The need read here covers only this US portion; the 90% that went abroad ($6.5M) is mapped below.
Dollar for dollar, its grants (FY21–24) land where the poverty rate runs at 11%, against an area that typically sits at 6%. 81% of its dollars go to grantees based in above-average-need neighborhoods. Most of its grants land in higher-need ZIPs.

How this is measured
Repeat means funded in two or more distinct years. Growth and survival are read from each grantee’s own subsequent IRS filings.
1 grantees tracked through their own filings, 2021–2024.
Each grant beside the grantee’s revenue from every source, year by year.
How this is measured
Counted here: distinct organizations funded across 2021 to 2024, not grant rows in a single year, so this will not match the grant count on the cover. 1 of the 25 grantees resolved in that span have returns of their own we could reconcile.
Each grantee is resolved to its own IRS returns. Association, dated; never a causal claim.
Where the money sits, by cause and then by grantee
Each grantee by its size and the funder’s share of it; top left is load-bearing
Grantee by grantee: a decade per organization, before and after funding
A decade per grantee: revenue shaded, grants as bars, all rows on one timeline.
How much its grantees rely on government
Each dot is one organization Eastern European Jewish Heritage Foundation funds: left to right is the share of its income from government, bottom to top the share from Eastern European Jewish Heritage Foundation. Bigger dots raise more.
