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 2017 to 2018, from $7.6M to $9.9M (+31%).
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: 2020 11% · 2021 20% · 2022 29% · 2023 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
23% of JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER OF ASHEVILLE INC’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (90% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year

8 of 29 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: $622k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Jewish Community Center Foundation of Asheville Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER OF ASHEVILLE INC raised.
From the IRS filings of JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER OF ASHEVILLE INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
46% 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 COMMUNITY CENTER OF ASHEVILLE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 32% · 2018 53% · 2019 40% · 2020 34% · 2021 32% · 2022 49% · 2023 49% — growing more concentrated.

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.
