What T'Ruah does
Mission
T'Ruah engages in three strategies in our work: we organize rabbis, cantors and their communities to make an impact through specific human rights campaigns; we train rabbinical and cantorial students and rabbis and cantors to be powerful human rights leaders; we amplify the voices of rabbis and cantors on the pressing human rights concerns of our time.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Programs include organizing rabbis, cantors, and their communities to work for concrete change on issues in the united states and in israel and the occupied palestinian territories. In the us, this work includes campaigns for immigration justice, democracy and voting rights, worker justice, and an end to mass incarceration, as well as fighting for racial justice and against antisemitism and other bigotries. We organize u.s. Rabbis to support the human rights of both israelis and palestinians including through opposing occupation and the expansion of settlements, and fighting for democracy in israel.; other work includes training rabbinical students to be human rights leaders through a year-long program for students studying in israel; training rabbis to be human rights leaders through convenings, trainings, communities of practice, and one-on-one support; producing jewish educational materials on human rights; creating prayers, rituals, and weekly torah commentaries; and amplifying the voice of rabbis as human rights leaders through op-eds, public statements, and public testimony.

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 $1.1M to $1.8M (+58%).
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: 2021 7% · 2022 8% · 2024 7% · 2025 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
97% of T'RUAH’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (97% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 26 funders to 57 funders, grant income rose $322k → $1.7M.
31 of 139 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 37% 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 T'RUAH’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 139 funders by total. 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
T'RUAH has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 9% of grant income, and it takes 10 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 10 funders to its left
42% 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 T'RUAH.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 21% · 2018 27% · 2019 16% · 2020 14% · 2021 13% · 2022 10% · 2023 10% — 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
48% of T'RUAH's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 63% 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
T'RUAH draws 65% of its grant income from funders outside New York, across 24 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.6M arriving through sponsors registered in 15 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
T'RUAH's funding base is broadening — from 26 funders to 57 as grant income climbed.
