What Joyful Giving does
Mission
To spread joy, build relationships, and create lasting impact by packaging essential items that look and feel like gifts

Program
Joyful Giving is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that packages essential items that look and feel like gifts with the intention of creating joy. It is a volunteer-based organization and any contribution received goes directly back into the community in the form of joy maker bags. Joy maker bags contain a variety of essential items such as socks, shampoo, body wash and lip balm. Every bag includes a piece of chocolate and is tied with a ribbon. Joyful Giving is committed to community building by partnering with multiple non-profit organizations and creating volunteer opportunities for all ages throughout the lehigh valley.

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $22 → $15k.
2 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 21% 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 JOYFUL GIVING’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
JOYFUL GIVING leans on a few funders — its largest provides 48% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
69% 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 JOYFUL GIVING.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 66% — 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
60% of JOYFUL GIVING's grant income comes from Pennsylvania funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
