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 2020 to 2021, from $3.9M to $4.6M (+19%).
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 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
70% of CENTER FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF JEWISH EDUCATION’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (90% for the typical peer).

Left out of every figure on this page: $15M from 5 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Greater Miami Jewish Federation Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money CENTER FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF JEWISH EDUCATION raised.
From the IRS filings of CENTER FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF JEWISH EDUCATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 27 of 28 funders by total. Association, not causation.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
87% 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 CENTER FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF JEWISH EDUCATION.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $352k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
