What Jubilee Ministries does
Mission
Jubilee Ministries exists to serve those affected by incarceration by being ambassadors of life change through the gospel of jesus christ.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The organization's thrift store operation exists for the same purpose as the ministry programs - to serve those affected by incarceration. The stores provide financial resources that empower life change for those in prisons and in the aftercare programs. They also provide low-cost merchandise for sale to persons in the city of lebanon and surrounding areas. The stores are a place for the community to participate in this ministry by donating material items and shopping. Behind the scenes, in processing material donations and in the pickup and delivery of store items, the aftercare students are employed and gain valuable on-the-job skills. There are store locations in annville, lebanon, manheim, myerstown, palmyra, wernersville, and can also be found online at shopthejub.com.

$777,638 spent$158,950 earned by the program9% of program spendingThe aftercare programs offer a structured, residential environment that provides opportunities for men and women to have their hearts and lives transformed through a relationship with jesus christ. With christ at the center, the organization seeks to address deep needs of those caught in cycles of incarceration, addiction, and unhealthy relationships. Aftercare is a phase-based program; completion is not determined by the amount of time spent in the program, but rather the successful progression through each phase. Each phase consists of specific goals in personal and spiritual growth and community integration. Students participate in group classes, individual counseling, and life skills training. Additionally, the restoration landscaping endeavor provides another employment opportunity for students who have reached the graduate phase of the program. These men work alongside a landscaping director learning valuable job skills that will follow them into their future.

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 2020 to 2021, from $7.5M to $11M (+42%).
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: 2020 12%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
94% of JUBILEE MINISTRIES’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (84% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 12 funders, grant income rose $13k → $182k.
8 of 24 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 54% 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 JUBILEE MINISTRIES’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 23 of 24 funders by total. 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
JUBILEE MINISTRIES has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 15% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
56% 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 JUBILEE MINISTRIES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 80% · 2018 57% · 2019 58% · 2020 66% · 2021 34% · 2022 43% · 2023 33% — 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.
How long its funders stay
50% of JUBILEE MINISTRIES's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 71% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
54% of JUBILEE MINISTRIES's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $395k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Pennsylvania funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $457k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
