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 2020 to 2021, from $209M to $283M (+35%).
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 31% · 2018 32% · 2019 31% · 2020 33% · 2021 31% · 2022 35% · 2023 44% · 2024 43% · 2025 30%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Left out of every figure on this page: $75M from 12 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 JEWISH BOARD OF FAMILY & CHILDREN'S SERVICES INC raised.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 10 funders to its left
32% 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 JEWISH BOARD OF FAMILY & CHILDREN'S SERVICES INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 21% · 2018 16% · 2019 16% · 2020 20% · 2021 19% · 2022 26% · 2023 9% — diversifying over time.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $4.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 12 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.
