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.

7 of 21 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 17% 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: $738k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest United Jewish Federation of Northeastern New York Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER OF SCHENECTADY INC raised.
