Programs
Community building - Hillel engages and empowers students in meaningful public service and inspires students to address social justice issues creatively. Through a variety of volunteer projects, students are able to explore Jewish values and social justice. Engaging and empowering students in meaningful public service provides opportunities to enrich the lives of the students and expose them to ways of becoming involved in the communities in which they live and beyond. Participation in social action activities encourages students to act out the Jewish value of Tikkun olam (repairing the world). Programming in this area includes but is not limited to: leading Shabbat services at the William Breman Jewish Home, "Challah for hunger," tree planting for Tu b'Shvat, and alternative break trips.

Hillel provides all students opportunities to learn about Israel and its central role in defining the Jewish experience today and provides a safe space for students to express a wide spectrum of views regarding their relationships with Israel. By fostering a positive relationship with Israel and helping students navigate the contours of the political tensions surrounding Israel, Hillel can help students grow in their relationship with the Jewish community with greater maturity and deeper sense of attachment to the Jewish homeland. With that comes a greater confidence in their sense of self as Jews and in their ability to convey their commitment to Israel and Jewish life to others with passion. Programming in this area includes but is not limited to: outdoor cultural festivals, advocacy sessions, speakers, film screenings, and travel abroad.

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 $13M to $16M (+25%).
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 6% · 2022 4% · 2025 5%. 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 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 13 funders to 29 funders, grant income rose $91k → $1.2M.
6 of 68 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 8% 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: $4.4M from 9 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money Hillels of Georgia Inc raised.
From the IRS filings of Hillels of Georgia Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 68 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
Hillels of Georgia Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 54% of grant income and the top three 80%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 36% · 2018 80% · 2019 16% · 2020 50% · 2021 61% · 2022 93% · 2023 31% — 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
54% of Hillels of Georgia Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 68% 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
85% of Hillels of Georgia Inc's grant income comes from Georgia funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $841k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
