What B'Nai B'Rith Youth Organization does
Mission
Bbyo is the leading pluralistic teen movement aspiring to involve more jewish teens in more meaningful jewish experiences. Rooted in over 100 years of tradition, bbyo has provided exceptional identity enrichment and leadership development experiences for hundreds of thousands of jewish teens. Across north america and dozens of other countries, jewish teens connect with one another, volunteer in their communities, celebrate their jewish heritage, and prepare for leadership roles, all within a jewish context.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Teen programs & membership services: bbyo provides jewish youth valuable opportunities to develop their leadership skills, embrace their role in democracy and citizenship, strengthen their involvement in social justice, and increase their knowledge of jewish heritage. These experiences are made available to middle and high school teens through a host of varied and rich programs, such as bbyo's aza/bbg teen-led governance model based on experiential democracy and bbyo's various summer immersive experiences in domestic leadership seminars and global travel.

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 2021 to 2022, from $22M to $40M (+84%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 8% · 2022 4% · 2023 4%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
54% of B'NAI B'RITH YOUTH ORGANIZATION’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (78% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 50 funders to 61 funders, grant income rose $2.8M → $5.3M.
41 of 201 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 15% 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: $55M from 62 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Jack Joseph and Morton Mandel Supporting Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money B'NAI B'RITH YOUTH ORGANIZATION raised.

How long its funders stay
44% of B'NAI B'RITH YOUTH ORGANIZATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 57% 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.

Where its funders are
B'NAI B'RITH YOUTH ORGANIZATION draws 99% of its grant income from funders outside Washington, D.C., across 33 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $8.6M arriving through sponsors registered in 20 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.
