What The Network for Social Justice Inc does
Mission
To foster a movement of systemic change to advance equity and inclusion in winchester and beyond.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Our total program expenses were divided among 20 distinct community programs this year which included: education and training through forums, speakers and nfsj workshops around issues of diversity, equity and inclusion, and community building activities. This year's programming focused on honoring mlk via personal learning dialogues, celebrating women's history month through a stem-focused panel of honorees, pridefest 2025, native american issues, school and youth organizing, and the work of addressing anti-racism and white privilege among both students and adults. We also hosted student interns throughout the course of the entire fy and targeted difficult subjects centered around social justice issues and mental health. These programs and initiatives reached over 1,050 residents in winchester and surrounding communities.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 $367k to $502k (+37%).
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: 2023 0% · 2024 1% · 2025 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
68% of THE NETWORK FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE INC’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (99% for the typical peer).

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $58k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
