What Rhode Island for Community and Justice does
Mission
Rhode Island for Community and Justice (RICJ) is a social justice organization dedicated to fighting bigotry and racism and promoting understanding and respect among all races, religions, and cultures through advocacy, conflict resolution, and education. It is RICJ's purpose to transform communities into more inclusive and just spaces by empowering individuals to lead institutional change. RICJ encourages finding common ground among diverse groups, recognizing that while differences exist, shared values and needs can unite people.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Youth Programs - Youth Action Council (YAC) is a year round after school program for leadership education, mentoring and community service projects serving an average of 25 high school aged youth during 2024. (Total served this year was 45) As part of YAC, youth create education/service projects to address RICJ's mission to fight prejudice by building understanding and respect in their own communities. The Young Womens Equity Coalition (YWEC) is a mentoring and career exploration that paired a total of 17 teen women of color with adult female mentors of color who are community leaders and influential professionals. The group meets bi-weekly, on Saturdays during the school year. The meetings include educational presentations and activities and individual mentoring meetings.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 $267k to $539k (+102%).
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 0% · 2021 8% · 2022 0% · 2023 0% · 2024 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
37% of RHODE ISLAND FOR COMMUNITY AND JUSTICE’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (99% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 7 funders, grant income rose $1k → $550k.
2 of 13 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 75% 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 RHODE ISLAND FOR COMMUNITY AND JUSTICE’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
RHODE ISLAND FOR COMMUNITY AND JUSTICE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 56% of grant income and the top three 82%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
90% 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 RHODE ISLAND FOR COMMUNITY AND JUSTICE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 52% · 2020 33% · 2021 92% · 2022 25% · 2023 80% — 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
67% of RHODE ISLAND FOR COMMUNITY AND JUSTICE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 54% 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
75% of RHODE ISLAND FOR COMMUNITY AND JUSTICE'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 $286k that is directly attributable, 72% of it comes from Rhode Island funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $863k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
