What Aram Soba Raanana Inc does

The purpose for which the corporation exists is to maintain the age-old sephardic jewry customs and traditions established in aleppo, syria, known as "aram soba," including through education, supporting religious organizations following the aram soba traditions and historical research, and lawfully doing any and all things necessary, suitable and proper for the accomplishment of this purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the corporation shall neither have nor exercise any power or authority, either expressly, by interpretation or by operation of law, nor directly or indirectly engage in any activity, that would prevent it from qualifying (and continuing to qualify) as an organization described in section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The general purpose of the organization is to is to maintain the age-old sephardic jewry customs and traditions established in aleppo, syria, including through education, supporting religious organizations following the aram soba traditions and historical research. Multiple families maintaining the aram soba traditions have recently emigrated to the israeli city of raanana (about 12 miles north of tel aviv). The community will need a synagogue and cultural center to maintain their ancient traditions. Otherwise, the community will disperse and assimilate to other traditions. The organization will fund the rental of space and renovation of that space for a synagogue that will be conducted solely in the aram soba tradition. It will also fund the long process to obtain charitable status of the synagogue in israel. This will be the sole initial activity of the organization and 100 percent of its funds and efforts will be dedicated to the project.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 2022 to 2023, from $30k to $267k (+789%).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
68% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund ARAM SOBA RAANANA INC.
“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.
Where its funders are
