Program
Hazon is building a movement that strengthens jewish life and contributes to a more environmentally sustainable world for all. National programs include a diverse range of programs, educational resources, and tools that enable communities and individuals to achieve their goals of leading more sustainably. At hazon we believe in two fundamental truths: we are in a global climate crisis and jewish tradition compels us to respond.isabella freedman is hazon's retreat center. Programs include immersive-intensive-inclusive multi-day retreats, holidays, workshops, conferences, festivals, and vacations. It is also the site of the adamah farming fellowship. These programs encourage people to make a difference in the world, and in the process enable them to renew and reframe their own jewish journeys. Individuals, families, and communities make a journey to experience a judaism that connects with their passions - and they return home transformed: refreshed, inspired, and with a renewed sense of purpose and possibility for a sustainable future in the jewish community and beyond.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $5.5M to $0 (−100%).
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 26% · 2021 32% · 2022 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 21 funders to 15 funders, grant income fell $3.1M → $897k.
14 of 84 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 11% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $3.0M from 18 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest United Jewish Appeal-Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money HAZON INC raised.
From the IRS filings of HAZON INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 84 funders by total. 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
HAZON INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 49% of grant income and the top three 70%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 57% · 2018 68% · 2019 73% · 2020 38% · 2021 43% · 2022 36% · 2023 59% — broadly stable.
“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
44% of HAZON INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 54% give in more than one year at all.
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.
Where its funders are
HAZON INC draws 92% of its grant income from funders outside New York, across 17 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.9M arriving through sponsors registered in 10 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.
Government funding HAZON INC receives
Grants and contracts to this organization from federal (USASpending) and state checkbooks, reconciled to its EIN. $82k on record.

Federal grants vs contracts are distinguished; state line items keep their reported category. Matched by name + geography (the BMF), so coverage is partial and precision-first.
