What Jews United for Justice Inc does
Mission
Jews united for justice advances economic, racial, and social justice in the baltimore-washington region by educating and mobilizing our local jewish communities to action.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Community organizing campaigns: we move our region closer to equity and justice by advancing issue-based campaigns that make real, immediate, and concrete improvements in people's lives. Through these campaigns we develop leaders, build our jewish grassroots community, shift the consciousness of our community, and build the collective power needed to address systemic racism and inequality. We work on local campaigns in dc, montgomery county, northern va, and baltimore; and statewide campaigns in virginia & maryland. Our campaigns focus on economic justice, housing justice, immigrant rights, transforming public safety, and youth justice.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2019 to 2020, from $679k to $1.9M (+180%).
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: 2022 12%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of JEWS UNITED FOR JUSTICE INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (90% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 8 funders to its left
42% 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 JEWS UNITED FOR JUSTICE INC.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.9M 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.
