What Hillel Foundation at Indiana University Inc does
Mission
To create an array of Jewish activities that offer different opportunities for involvement, including social, religious, social action, Israel oriented, cultural, educational, and cultural arts programming. It is also part of IU Hillel's mission to create a "Jewish Home Away from Home."
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Relgious/social/cultural (high holidays, passover, and weekly shabbat services): by offering services and kosher meals during high holidays, passover, and weekly shabbat services, iu hillel is providing religious and social experiences for all who attend (jewish and nonjewish members of the student body and the community). Religious services and the homestyle dining offered provide a "jewish home away from home" for the students. Because people who are not jewish sometimes attend shabbat services, hillel uses this opportunity to showjewish culture and educate the public about judaism.

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 2024 to 2025, from $3.2M to $2.4M (−27%).
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: 2017 4% · 2018 4% · 2019 17% · 2022 11%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 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.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 9 funders, grant income rose $7k → $103k.
8 of 20 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 25% 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: $1.5M from 9 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Hillel the Foundation for Jewish Campus Life). These are real filings, and they are not money HILLEL FOUNDATION AT INDIANA UNIVERSITY INC raised.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
88% 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 HILLEL FOUNDATION AT INDIANA UNIVERSITY INC.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $217k 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.
