Mission
To develop and support those in the struggle for educational freedom by utilizing the intellectual work and direct action of abolitionists in many forms.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
In 2023, atn used funds to train teachers in abolitionist & anti-racist pedagogies, creating a replicable curriculum to use for years to come. The network dispersed mini grants to dozens of teachers, activists, single moms, and incarcerated people. The organization partnered with other organizations and individuals in order to carry out its programmatic mission & goals and build a coalition of organizations dedicated to educational liberation across the country. A large portion of the workincluded an extensive on the ground organizing campaign in atlanta around a teacher's impending prison sentence. Atn was able to also produce information & resources for parents about their choices in regards to their children's standardized testing. The organization carried out regular programming including the annual conference.

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.
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 $125k to $468k (+274%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
78% 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 ABOLITIONIST TEACHING NETWORK.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 52% · 2022 59% · 2023 54% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $241k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
