What Center for Healing and Justice Through Sport does
Mission
The Center for Healing and Justice Through Sport (chjs) is a national nonprofit organization working to ensure that more young people have access to sport experiences that are youth-centered, healing-centered, inclusive, and work to address issues of systemic injustice. Our mission is to make sport healing for all youth, everywhere, through training, consulting, and movement building.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Training and consulting: the training program offers practical, innovative, and research-based learning experiences for coaches, organizations, government agencies, and businesses. It's content expertise ranges from theory to practice, but typically falls into three main content areas: 1) healing-centered sport, 2) social-emotional learning through sport, and 3) girls in sport. All trainings and educational engagements are focused on how coaches, programs, or the sports culture as a whole can make a concerted effort to focus on healing. The consulting program provides top-to-bottom consulting services for programs, organizations, schools, government agencies, and businesses interested in deepening or measuring their impact. We leverage decades of experience pushing the bounds of what sport can do to help organizations reach their goals. Our consulting services include program and curriculum design, organizational strategy, and evaluation support.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 $318k to $1.4M (+326%).
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: 2022 0% · 2023 9% · 2024 5%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
