What Masonic Charity Foundation of New Jersey does
Mission
The Masonic Charity Foundation of New Jersey (the "foundation or home"), incorporated in 1930, is a nonprofit corporation. The foundation delivers personalized services and compassionate care, inspired by the spirit, ideals, and values of freemasonry, to promote the highest quality of life for freemasons, families, and others in the community through retirement living, healthcare services and hospice services. The general operations of the foundation also include receiving, maintaining, and administering endowments and funds exclusively for charitable, benevolent, and retirement services.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
The foundation provides senior housing and healthcare services through several areas of the retirement settings: independent living apartments and cottages: assisted (comprehensive personal care) living, long term nursing care and short term sub acute rehabilitation. The foundation provides services to residents who meet certain criteria at amounts less than its cost of providing care. The level of benevolent represents the difference between the charges for providing care and payments received for services amounting to approximately $395,000.

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 2021 to 2022, from $172M to $145M (−16%).
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 4% · 2021 9% · 2022 1% · 2023 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
21% of MASONIC CHARITY FOUNDATION OF NEW JERSEY’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (80% for the typical peer).

2 of 18 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 3% 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: $888k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Grand Lodge of New Jersey Ashlar Fund Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money MASONIC CHARITY FOUNDATION OF NEW JERSEY raised.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
39% 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 MASONIC CHARITY FOUNDATION OF NEW JERSEY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 95% · 2018 88% · 2019 81% · 2020 65% · 2021 52% · 2022 70% · 2023 59% — diversifying over time.
“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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $47k 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.
