What The Jerusalem Fund for Education and Community Development does
Mission
The jerusalem fund provides education and cultural programming in order to promote awareness about palestinian and arab-israeli affairs. While its events have a local reach, its publications and information resources have a national circulation. It also sponsors a humanitarian and civil society assistance program for palestinians, as well as several diabetes clinics in palestine. It is a not-for-profit organization incorporated under the laws of the district of columbia.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The palestine diabetes institute (pdi) was established in 2009 in al-bireh, palestine. Since then, the pdi has expanded its services and opened two additional clinics in the cities of nablus and hebron, covering a wider population in the west bank. It now employs more than 20 palestinians, including endocrinologists, lab technicians, nurses, assistants, and others. The pdi addresses the growing diabetes epidemic in palestine through comprehensive treatment and education, and is the first such facility in palestine.

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 $6.1M to $7.7M (+28%).
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 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
68% of THE JERUSALEM FUND FOR EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (97% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 6 funders to 10 funders, grant income fell $360k → $217k.
7 of 23 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 61% 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 JERUSALEM FUND FOR EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT’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 JERUSALEM FUND FOR EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT leans on a few funders — its largest provides 50% of grant income and the top three 75%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
63% 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 JERUSALEM FUND FOR EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 72% · 2018 49% · 2019 78% · 2020 75% · 2021 78% · 2022 67% · 2023 80% — 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
55% of THE JERUSALEM FUND FOR EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 57% 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
61% of THE JERUSALEM FUND FOR EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT'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 $814k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Washington, D.C., across 10 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.3M arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
