What Jewelers Security Alliance does
Mission
Prevention of crime against the jewelry industry
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The Jewelers Security Alliance provides information and training to jewelers on crime prevention through the production and distribution of manuals, guides, bulletins, email crime alerts and training videos; through the maintenance of a crime website (www.jewelerssecurity.org); through lectures and training at conventions, trade shows, seminars and by speaking engagements at the invitation of member firms; and through advice offered by telephone, email, in person and through articles in industry trade magazines and online trade news services. The Jewelers Security Alliance also maintains the most complete database containing information on crime against jewelers in the united states. Jsa uses this database to assist investigations by federal and state law enforcement agencies throughout the united states. Jsa also has a reward program through its reward hotline.
Trade show project - provide trade show security recommendations including but not limited to topics such as the need for insurance coverage, inventory control, armored courier service, show vaults, locked showcases, booth control, and parking lot transactions.
Local crime prevention networks project - jsa is helping to organize local networks of jewelers in towns, cities and states throughout the u.s. That will communicate information within each network on crimes and suspicious circumstances involving jewelers that occur in their communities. The local networks will also share that information and work closely with local police in their area.
The 3 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990, listed largest first by expense.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 $1.5M to $1.8M (+17%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 6 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 vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 JEWELERS SECURITY ALLIANCE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% — broadly stable.
