$256,582 spent44% of program spendingGeneral programs - mcrj's general programming initiatives are dedicated to preserving and sharing florida's difficult but vital black history. Although florida is often associated with sun and leisure, its history is marred by significant anti-black violence, including the highest rates of lynchings in the south. The miami center for racial justice is committed to ensuring that these painful stories are not forgotten, as ignoring them makes it more likely that history will repeat itself. These expenses cover the costs of purchasing and distributing banned books, staffing, community engagement, and transportation, as well as additional needs such as educational materials, event supplies, technology for virtual programs and lectures, marketing efforts, volunteer support, and administrative supplies. These investments align with mcrj's mission to educate, raise awareness, and keep these critical histories alive, ensuring that the organization's programs run effectively and continue to make a meaningful impact in the community.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2023 to 2024, from $68k to $265k (+290%).
