01What it does

What Chevra USA does

Mission

Chevra USA exists to provide humanitarian aid to Jewish people, many of whom are elderly and Holocaust survivors, in the former Soviet Union, primarily Ukraine, Moldova and Poland, and in Israel. We operate soup kitchens and distribute food parcels to shut-ins, provide warm clothing, medicine and other necessities, and as much as possible, meet the spiritual needs of those we serve.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Israel Relief Aid (IRA) Accomplishment: We partnered with our sister organization in Israel to provide humanitarian aid to new immigrants, the elderly, the unemployed, impoverished Jews, Holocaust survivors, single mothers and the disabled in Israel. We have very little overhead to administer this service, so all donations received by Chevra USA designated for the IRA are disseminated to the IRA organization.

  2. Ukraine Accomplishment(UKR): We support soup kitchens in a number of cities in Ukraine which feed a large number of people each month, in addition to the regular humanitarian aid distributed in that country. The grants made to Ukraine were supported by donations received that were specifically designated for our Ukraine ministry and supplemented by unrestricted donations over and above specific designations

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.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income fell $24k → $14k.

3 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 45% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

From the IRS filings of CHEVRA USA’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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

CHEVRA USA leans on a few funders — its largest provides 41% of grant income and the top three 92%; half comes from just 2 funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders 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 CHEVRA USA.

“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

67% of CHEVRA USA's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 88% give in more than one year at all.

first grant+1y+2y+3y+4y+5y

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.

Colorado out of state home

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $130k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
