What Hebrew at the Center Inc does
Mission
Hebrew at the center works to revolutionize hebrew language education and engagement as we advocate for hebrew as a more prominent intentional feature of jewish life.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Hatc has developed an in-depth in-service professional development program for early childhood through high school program includes workshops in the areas of assessment, methodology,goal setting, lesson planning and differentiated instruction based on more than 20 years of research and experience in hebrew and second-language acquisition. Almost 700 hebrew language educators,representing over 200 schools and serving more than 16,500 students,have participated in these workshops and multi-year mentoring programs tailored to their institutions' missions goals and needs. In the last few years, hatc has expanded its work into the informal jewish education space with the development of a new approach to hebrew engagement. Developed jointly with the jewish agency for israel, this pedagogic approach, innovative materials, and effective training have brought hebrew into more than three dozen camps, israel experience programs for teens and young adults, and is now being rolled out to year-round settings. The outcome of this work aims to demonstrate what is possible, raise expectations, and to bring increased effectiveness, joy, and excitement to hebrew teaching and learning.

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 2018 to 2019, from $1.7M to $1.2M (−29%).
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: 2021 13%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
67% of HEBREW AT THE CENTER INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (48% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

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 chief executive listed changed between the FY2020 and FY2021 filings.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 12 funders, grant income rose $110k → $795k.
7 of 25 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 60% 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: $390k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Institute for the Advancement of Hebrew Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money HEBREW AT THE CENTER INC raised.
From the IRS filings of HEBREW AT THE CENTER INC’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
HEBREW AT THE CENTER INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 55% of grant income and the top three 69%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
65% 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 HEBREW AT THE CENTER INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 91% · 2018 50% · 2019 72% · 2020 78% · 2021 69% · 2022 49% · 2023 44% — diversifying over time.
“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
64% of HEBREW AT THE CENTER INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 72% 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
60% of HEBREW AT THE CENTER 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 $1.8M that is directly attributable, 90% of it comes from funders outside Massachusetts, across 9 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.7M arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
