What Garden of Remembrance Memorial Park Inc does
Mission
To operate a memorial park and provide burial services to the public that directly support and maintain the basic tenets and beliefs of judaism in connection with the provision of burial spaces, services, and memorials.
As stated on its FY2020 Form 990.
Program
To provide burial spaces, memorials, and services to the public in accordance with the tenets and beliefs of judaism. The garden of remembrance is the region's only not-for-profit cemetery open to members of all jewish congregations as well as those unaffiliated with a congregation. It is jewish owned and operated, and managed by a board of community leaders. Congregations and individuals trust the memorial park to carry out burial arrangements with dignity as well as in accordance with jewish values and practices. Each year the memorial park invites the region's entire jewish community to memorial services at the cemetery to mark the high holy days.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.
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 2017 to 2018, from $8.7M to $11M (+22%).
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.
11% of GARDEN OF REMEMBRANCE MEMORIAL PARK INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (0% for the typical peer).

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
93% 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 GARDEN OF REMEMBRANCE MEMORIAL PARK INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 72% · 2022 84% · 2023 54% — diversifying over time.

Where its funders are
92% of GARDEN OF REMEMBRANCE MEMORIAL PARK INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $49k that is directly attributable, 63% of it comes from funders outside Maryland, across 3 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $541k 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.
