What Citizens for Community Justice Inc does
Mission
Envisioning a fair community that learns from conflict, prevents harm, and grows in understanding, the Community Justice & Mediation Center's (CJAM) mission is to promote a civil and just community through mediation, education, and restorative justice. CJAM accomplishes its mission by leveraging the time and talents of community members who serve as volunteer mediators and facilitators, office support staff, interns, and board committee members.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Restorative Justice: CJAM provided restorative processes to 138 clients (youths, adults and family members) through the Victim and Offender Restoration Program (VORP) and Shoplifting and Theft Education Program (STEP). Both programs provide education, accountability, and reflection aimed at reducing harms caused by crime and lowering rates of recidivism. In VORP, CJAM works with clients (offenders) and their victims. 80 clients were served and 65% of offenders successfully completed the program. STEP targets first-time offenders who have been charged with theft or shoplifting. 58 individuals were served and 70% successfully completed the program. Clients are primarily referred by the Monroe County (MC) Prosecutor's office, and the MC Probation Department.

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 $99k to $381k (+285%).
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: 2020 10% · 2021 0% · 2022 17% · 2023 14% · 2024 51%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
90% of CITIZENS FOR COMMUNITY JUSTICE INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (94% for the typical peer).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 CITIZENS FOR COMMUNITY JUSTICE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 81% · 2021 81% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $37k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
