THE JEWISH CEMETERY ASSOCIATION OF MASSACHUSETTS

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.

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: 2018 0% · 2021 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Surplus & reserves

Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $16k → $32k.

1 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 92% 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: $303k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Jcam Charitable Foundation Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money THE JEWISH CEMETERY ASSOCIATION OF MASSACHUSETTS raised.

From the IRS filings of THE JEWISH CEMETERY ASSOCIATION OF MASSACHUSETTS’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 JEWISH CEMETERY ASSOCIATION OF MASSACHUSETTS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 92% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.

92% 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 JEWISH CEMETERY ASSOCIATION OF MASSACHUSETTS.

Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 99% · 2019 99% · 2020 99% · 2021 99% · 2022 73% · 2023 77% — 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.

Where its funders are

92% of THE JEWISH CEMETERY ASSOCIATION OF MASSACHUSETTS'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 $18k that is directly attributable, 95% of it comes from Massachusetts funders.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $221k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 stateis 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.
