What The EmeryWeiner Center for Jewish Education does
Mission
To educate and develop students whose intellect, moral character and Jewish identity provide a lifelong foundation for personal growth, commitment to the Jewish people and Tikkun Olam--improving the world in which we live.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The Emery/Weiner Center for Jewish Education (the School) is an independent, college-preparatory, co-educational day school for students in grades 6-12, accredited by ISAS and SACS. In response to the success of the I. Weiner Middle School, which has served students since 1978, and to fill a gap in the spectrum of local independent high schools, Emery High School opened in 2001 with 31 students. In accordance with our mission, we accept a broad range of students, ranging from the 40th to the 99th percentile in standardized admission testing. Continued on Schedule O.Moreover, we offer a dual-studies curriculum that requires all students to demonstrate proficiency in Hebrew, notwithstanding study of another foreign language, and requires students to take Judaic Studies classes. Emery/Weiner is a pluralistic and progressive community day school that emphasizes commitment rather than commandment. The result is a learning partnership in which students feel a sense of ownership and, more importantly, become graduates instilled with moral self-reliance. Enrollment for FYE 2025 was approximately 630 students in grades 6-12.

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 2024 to 2025, from $63M to $88M (+39%).
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 9% · 2022 1% · 2023 0% · 2024 0% · 2025 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
30% of The EmeryWeiner Center for Jewish Education’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (23% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 6 funders to 11 funders, grant income rose $643k → $1.8M.
10 of 20 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 96% 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: $6.0M from 7 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest The EmeryWeiner School Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money The EmeryWeiner Center for Jewish Education raised.
From the IRS filings of The EmeryWeiner Center for Jewish Education’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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
96% 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 The EmeryWeiner Center for Jewish Education.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 82% · 2018 50% · 2019 43% · 2020 52% · 2021 49% · 2022 89% · 2023 85% — growing more concentrated.
“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
50% of The EmeryWeiner Center for Jewish Education's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 60% 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
96% of The EmeryWeiner Center for Jewish Education'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 $393k that is directly attributable, 91% of it comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $8.9M arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
