What Spokane Area Jewish Family Services does
Mission
To provide aid to families through a series of programs, including: 1) senior support system. Providing services to senior citizens distant from fellow family members. Keeping relatives informed about the health and well-being of their loved ones and recommend plans for future, including funeral planning. We provide ongoing reassurance telephone calls, home and hospital visits, transportation arrangements, emergency food pantry, information and education, referrals to outside agencies and resources, arranging social interaction events, and group educational and cultural outings. 2) service for youth. Programs focus on literacy, jewish culture, and deepening family relationships for children ages 0-12 and their parents. 3) direct service client support. Providing services to low-income families through food bank, advocacy, direct financial assistance, and referrals to relevant local resources.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Seniors benefit from our services and programs, whether that means socializing and learning at the monthly jfs luncheon; borrowing a walker from our medical lending closet; getting a ride from jfs to a medical appointment or jewish community event; or simply knowing they have an unbreakable link to a community that cares. Many of our senior clients do not live near family members who can provide support and care. Jfs can be the connection between older adults and their distant families. We keep relatives informed about the health and well-being of their families and recommend plans for the future. We provide the following services to senior clients: ongoing reassurance telephone calls. Home hospital visits. Transportation arrangements. Emergency food pantry. Errand and chore services. Medical lending closet (borrow canes, walkers, wheelchairs, ect.), free of charge. Financial assistance to low-income individuals. Client advocacy and referrals to outside agencies and resources. More than 327 households were served during 2024. Other statistics can be found on the organizations website. The food pantry has served more than 10 households, in 26 instances of service and about 230 lbs…

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 2023 to 2024, from $207k to $300k (+45%).
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.
74% of SPOKANE AREA JEWISH FAMILY SERVICES’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year

2 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 33% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
SPOKANE AREA JEWISH FAMILY SERVICES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 35% of grant income and the top three 86%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
52% 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 SPOKANE AREA JEWISH FAMILY SERVICES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 94% · 2021 55% · 2022 100% · 2023 50% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Where its funders are
SPOKANE AREA JEWISH FAMILY SERVICES draws 52% of its grant income from funders outside Washington, across 3 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $13k 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.
