As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Children & Youth: MJCCA children and youth programs positively impact the lives of more than 11,000 children and families each year. Through a variety of high-quality programs, the MJCCA provides safe, nurturing environments that support healthy development, inspire curiosity and learning, and strengthen connections to Jewish community and values from early childhood through the teen years. The MJCCA operates half-day and full-day preschool programs at three locations across metro Atlanta: The Weinstein School in Dunwoody, The Sunshine School in Marietta, and The Schiff School in Sandy Springs. MJCCA preschools are accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)-a distinction held by fewer than 10% of preschools nationwide-as well as the Georgia Accrediting Commission (GAC) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). These programs foster social, emotional, and cognitive development while preparing children for kindergarten and lifelong learning. Inclusion is embedded across all youth-facing programs, enabling children with additional needs and developmental delays to learn and grow in welcoming, supportive environments tailored…

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 2022 to 2023, from $56M to $75M (+34%).
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: 2017 0% · 2018 1% · 2019 1% · 2020 1% · 2021 7% · 2022 19% · 2023 11% · 2024 2% · 2025 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
19% of MARCUS JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER OF ATLANTA INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (21% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

13 of 83 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 27% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $17M from 18 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money MARCUS JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER OF ATLANTA INC raised.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
36% 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 MARCUS JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER OF ATLANTA INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 43% · 2018 38% · 2019 30% · 2020 25% · 2021 63% · 2022 36% · 2023 56% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

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.

Where its funders are

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $8.0M arriving through sponsors registered in 12 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.
