Hosts funds for others
JEWISH COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF LOS ANGELES administers funds on behalf of other donors. The grants recorded as coming in are contributions into those funds, so they count custody rather than support for a programJEWISH COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF LOS ANGELES runs itself. This page therefore states the flows and does not draw the comparisons it would draw for an operating charity: concentration, funder retention, grant dependency and the peer field are all left out, because each of them would read a vehicle as if it were a program.

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.
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. 1 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 14 funders to 27 funders, grant income rose $437k → $8.0M.
17 of 65 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 40% 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: $43M from 27 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Jewish Community Foundation of the Jewish Federation Council of Greater la Group); $113k from one payer (the payer's own filing calls it a related party, largest The Jewish Community Foundation Charitable Fund). These are real filings, and they are not money JEWISH COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF LOS ANGELES raised.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $17M arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
