What Rekindle does
Mission
Rekindle's mission is to drive meaningful social change by fostering collaboration between African-American and Jewish leaders. Through open, challenging dialogues and direct, face-to-face interactions, we aim to dismantle barriers and cultivate new connections. By reigniting the historic alliance forged during the Civil Rights Movement, we seek to enhance our collective impact and promote greater equity across Cleveland and the nation. We invite our Fellows to engage deeply, broaden their perspectives, and actively contribute to advancing social justice both in Cleveland and nationwide.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
To date, Rekindle has graduated twenty cohorts nationally totaling 390 Rekindle Fellows, who represent a diverse mix of professional roles, including philanthropy, media, business, economic development, and more. Fellows have launched a wide range of collaborative projects around: fostering entrepreneurship, women-focused programming, social get-togethers, criminal justice reform, and more. And when we survey our alumni six months after their Fellowship, they report that they continue to connect with the other community, advocate for the other community, challenge biases they seen in their own communities, and much more.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 2024 to 2025, from $74k to $387k (+420%).
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.
98% of REKINDLE’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (99% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $15k → $68k.
3 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 20% 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 REKINDLE’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
REKINDLE has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 30% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
49% 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 REKINDLE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 65% · 2023 37% — 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
REKINDLE draws 82% of its grant income from funders outside Ohio, across 5 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $46k 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.
Against its field
REKINDLE runs a healthier operating margin than three-quarters of the 904 civil rights nonprofits its size.
