Programs
NURSING JOURNALS -In 2004, JKF created the Nurse's Journal in response to the growing awareness of the challenges in the nursing profession that can lead to stress and burnout. These journals have been distributed to over 20,000 nurses from around the country. The Journal contains exercises that help nurses reflect on, and write about, work-related stress and personal issues that can affect their lives. It also includes before- and after- stress evaluation charts that enable nurses to assess their stress levels and note any changes after completing the journal exercises. This can help raise awareness of stress symptoms so they can be addressed in a timely manner. There are additional journal pages for free writing where nurses can write about whatever is on their minds. In 2011-12, JKF partnered with Medstar Georgetown University Hospital to revise and revamp the Nurse's Journal. The new Nurse's Journal continues to serve as a tool for the hard-working nurses who do so much for all of us and, who sometimes perhaps forget to take care of themselves. In 2012, 4,212 Nurse's Journals were shipped to nurses across the country benefiting each nurse who has received one. In 2013…

Hospitalization can be an overwhelming experience in addition to the stress of being faced with health challenges, there is also the added stress of having to keep track of new and important information. The 30-day care journal was designed to help patients manage this information. Then in 2012, jkf created the care journal mini, after noting that patients with shorter stays had different needs. The mini covers seven 7 days of hospitalization and is physically smaller and more portable. Both care journals can be sponsored by a hospital and personalized with a black label that can be applied to the back cover. When the hospital hands the patient or the patient's loved one a care journal upon admission it sends a positive message - here is a gift from us to you. We encourage you to keep track of information and to ask questions and most of all we invite you to partner with us in your care.. Our goal is for hospitals to partner with us in the care journal campaign by making a donation to the foundation. In return, we will provide journals for the hospitals to…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2021 to 2022, from $546k to $421k (−23%).
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.
41% of JOSIE KING FOUNDATION INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (65% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2021: the base held at 2 funders, grant income fell $5k → $2k.
1 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 19% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of JOSIE KING FOUNDATION INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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.
How concentrated its funding is
JOSIE KING FOUNDATION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 74% of grant income and the top three 97%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
93% 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 JOSIE KING FOUNDATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 95% · 2021 67% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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.
Where its funders are
JOSIE KING FOUNDATION INC draws 99% of its grant income from funders outside Maryland, across 4 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
