What 2life Communities Inc does
Mission
2life builds & operates housing for low income seniors & offers services to enhance independence and dignity. Inspired by jewish values, 2life communities are nonsectarian.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
On november 15, 2024, 2life Communities Inc. ("communities") and friends of 2life Communities Inc. ("friends") entered into a merger agreement. This merger was executed under chapter 180 of the massachusetts general laws, with communities and friends filing the necessary articles of organization and amendments with the secretary of state of the commonwealth of massachusetts. The merger consolidates the assets, liabilities, and operations of both entities, enhancing their ability to serve the community effectively. The financial statements reflect the combined financial position and activities of the merged entities from the effective date. All fundraising and program activities was done under communitites in 2024.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
The organization is operated for the benefit of affiliated 501(c)(3) organizations and is the asset manager for senior housing projects sponsored and operated by the organization and other nonprofit entities affiliated with 2life communities.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $21M to $52M (+142%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
91% of 2LIFE COMMUNITIES INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (13% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 9 funders to 27 funders, grant income rose $96k → $669k.
5 of 75 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 13% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $601k from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Friends of 2life Communities Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money 2LIFE COMMUNITIES INC raised.
From the IRS filings of 2LIFE COMMUNITIES INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 75 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
2LIFE COMMUNITIES INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 27% of grant income and the top three 67%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 26% · 2018 30% · 2019 69% · 2020 67% · 2021 35% · 2022 64% · 2023 45% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
46% of 2LIFE COMMUNITIES INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 49% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
66% of 2LIFE COMMUNITIES INC's grant income comes from Massachusetts funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $936k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
