What The Florence Melton Adult Mini-School Corporation does
Mission
The Florence Melton Adult Mini-School Corporation dba the florence melton school of adult jewish learning (the organization"), was organized in the state of ohio on june 3, 2002 as a not-for-profit corporation. Melton empowers adults by deepening their connections to the jewish world through meaningful learning. We offer an inviting and open gateway to jewish knowledge with accessible curricula, in-person and online learning opportunities, and educational travel. The organization enables adults to gain jewish literacy through a broad, pluralistic and deep curriculum created by scholars and educators at the hebrew university in jerusalem.

Programs
Partner community programming - the florence melton school engages adult learners in a life-enhancing study of jewish texts and ideas that nurtures and deepens jewish community worldwide. One of the major ways melton furthers its mission is by working together with community partners such as synagogues, jcc's, and jewish federations. These partners offer our courses to their local learners.

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 $835k to $1.2M (+46%).
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 5% · 2022 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
45% of THE FLORENCE MELTON ADULT MINI-SCHOOL CORPORATION’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (90% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 11 funders, grant income rose $39k → $173k.
12 of 24 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 73% 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 THE FLORENCE MELTON ADULT MINI-SCHOOL CORPORATION’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
THE FLORENCE MELTON ADULT MINI-SCHOOL CORPORATION has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 21% 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
78% 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 FLORENCE MELTON ADULT MINI-SCHOOL CORPORATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 49% · 2018 59% · 2019 34% · 2020 40% · 2021 34% · 2022 53% · 2023 29% — 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
69% of THE FLORENCE MELTON ADULT MINI-SCHOOL CORPORATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 67% 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
73% of THE FLORENCE MELTON ADULT MINI-SCHOOL CORPORATION'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 $447k that is directly attributable, 68% of it comes from funders outside New York, across 8 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.2M arriving through sponsors registered in 10 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.
