What Tucson Hebrew Academy does
Mission
The Tucson Hebrew Academy is our jewish day school, providing differentiated, exemplary secular and pluralistic jewish education in a nurturing, supportive environment steeped in jewish values.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Tucson Hebrew Academy (tha) has continued to work diligently to determine the educational losses to the students due to the pandemic. In the prior fiscal year, tha performed individual testing in both reading and math and prepared a course of study to allow each student to get caught up, or ahead, in their grade level. We have continued this process in the current fiscal year and have noted an improvement among students in the higher grade. We also noted that those in the lower grades, who got behind in their earliest years due to starting school during the pandemic, remain behind in some areas. Tha continues to investigate teaching methods specifically suited for each grade level in order to overcome these issues and move our students ahead. Tha is dedicated to brinings the mission statement to life: developing students who are highly skilled, creative, critical thinkers with a spirited love of learning and a strong jewish identity.

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 2024 to 2025, from $3.8M to $3.1M (−20%).
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: 2024 23%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
32% of TUCSON HEBREW ACADEMY’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (48% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 5 funders, grant income fell $230k → $18k.
12 of 26 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 36% 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: $3.4M from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Jewish Federation of Southern Arizona). These are real filings, and they are not money TUCSON HEBREW ACADEMY raised.
From the IRS filings of TUCSON HEBREW ACADEMY’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
TUCSON HEBREW ACADEMY leans on a few funders — its largest provides 35% of grant income and the top three 62%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
75% 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 TUCSON HEBREW ACADEMY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 91% · 2018 76% · 2019 53% · 2020 44% · 2021 34% · 2022 28% · 2023 42% — 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
27% of TUCSON HEBREW ACADEMY's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 46% 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
71% of TUCSON HEBREW ACADEMY's grant income comes from Arizona funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $213k 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.
