What Ambleside Ocala Inc does
Mission
The mission of ambleside school of ocala, inc is to provide families and children in grades k-12 with a living education, one where children are guided and empowered to author a full and free life by implementation of the ideas, principles and methods of charlotte mason, a british educator. Our students learn both inspirational and disciplinary subjects such as literature, math, science, nature study, music, art, picture study, history, bible, physical education, foreign language, composition and composer study.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Students are evaluated on their growth in their relationships, study habits, and attitudes, as well as their knowledge in order to ensure successful completion of the school year. The school offers small student-teacher ratio and an emphasis on guiding and developing a child's relationships with others-peers, younger children, elders, authority and self. Ambleside provides a broad and varied curriculum for every student through direct encounter with great literature and primary sources in history, with art, music, science, mathematics, geography, language, nature, and handwork.

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 2019 to 2020, from $177k to $546k (+208%).
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: 2021 12% · 2022 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
8% of AMBLESIDE OCALA INC’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. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income fell $22k → $3k.
4 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 73% 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 AMBLESIDE OCALA INC’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
AMBLESIDE OCALA INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 34% of grant income and the top three 76%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
73% 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 AMBLESIDE OCALA INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 77% · 2018 70% · 2019 100% · 2020 64% · 2021 77% · 2022 97% · 2023 77% — broadly stable.
“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
43% of AMBLESIDE OCALA INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% 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
73% of AMBLESIDE OCALA 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 $63k that is directly attributable, 79% of it comes from Florida funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $165k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
