What Wilmington Jewish Film Festival does
Mission
The primary mission of the Wilmington Jewish Film Festival is to present thought-provoking and engaging films that celebrate Jewish stories, history, and culture while fostering dialogue and connection across our wider community.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
The Annual Wilmington Jewish Film Festival seeks to offer quality entertainment that will create an ongoing vehicle for the Wilmington Jewish Community to strengthen its cultural foundation, promote diversity through higher visibility in the area and grow Wilmington's reputation as a culturally vibrant Jewish community.
$60,107 spent83% of program spendingIn the Spring of 2017, in keeping with Wilmington Jewish Film Festival's educational mission, we expanded our cultural outreach to include daytime screenings of an age-theme-appropriate film for local public high school students as an enhancement of their English curriculum on the Holocaust. The program has been a huge success and we have teachers reaching out to us.

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 2023 to 2024, from $203k to $246k (+21%).
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.
93% of Wilmington Jewish Film Festival’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (78% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
66% 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 Wilmington Jewish Film Festival.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
