As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
Zahav fellowship - the zahav fellowship is a transformative leadership program for black jewish zionists, designed to uplift their intersecting identities and foster jewish self-determination and democracy. Through intimate cohort experiences and global thought leadership, fellows engage in identity exploration, communal resilience, and social impact. Now a 10-month program, zahav includes a capstone project and prepares participants to lead in both jewish and broader justice movements. Zioness pride fellowship -the pride fellowship is a three-month initiative that engages queer communities in critical conversations about israel, and antisemitism. It aims to build advocacy skills, foster coalition-building, and empower lgbtq+ leaders from underrepresented jewish backgrounds. Fellows gained tools to combat anti-zionism and antisemitism in their queer spaces, while forming strong networks to bolster their advocacy and confidence.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
Community programming - at the core of the zioness mission is the goal of members engaging across lines of difference on issues they are passionate about. The organizations work in this regard includes building chapters in communities across the country, training local leaders, building relationships with partners, and taking action to help support progressive causes and movements for justice. Organizationally, they organize their members to help others organize their communities.

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. 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 2020 to 2021, from $813k to $1.2M (+53%).
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: 2020 3% · 2023 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
95% of ZIONESS MOVEMENT INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (97% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 12 funders to 29 funders, grant income rose $297k → $1.0M.
17 of 58 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 64% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of ZIONESS MOVEMENT INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 58 funders by total. 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
ZIONESS MOVEMENT INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 18% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 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 ZIONESS MOVEMENT INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 34% · 2020 24% · 2021 20% · 2022 20% · 2023 20% — 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
60% of ZIONESS MOVEMENT INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 53% 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
64% of ZIONESS MOVEMENT INC'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 $2.2M that is directly attributable, 59% of it comes from New York funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.9M arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
