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 2024 to 2025, from $9.3M to $11M (+21%).
How it's funded, over time

Government-grant reliance: 2017 24% · 2018 39% · 2019 40% · 2020 31% · 2021 17% · 2022 15% · 2023 18% · 2024 18% · 2025 26%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Left out of every figure on this page: $43M from 10 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money JEWISH FAMILY & CHILDREN'S SERVICE OF GREATER PHILADELPHIA raised.
