Program

  1. In 2013, the city of Durango, Durango Fire Department and CDOT requested the school relocate to a more suitable site. The school secured land for a permanent site in the Twin Buttes development and settled into a 2nd temporary home. In the spring of 2020 Animas High School was awarded a grant through the Building Excellent Schools Today (BEST) Colorado Department of Education (CDE) program. AHS broke ground last year on a new 40,500 square foot facility on the campus of Fort Lewis College. The building was designed for project-based learning and includes small breakout spaces, larger convening areas and ample access to natural light. It also includes walls that can open for multi-class collaboration and spaces for curating and displaying student work, a maker space, a music lab and connected indoor/outdoor spaces to support large scale projects. The unique location on a college campus increases opportunities for student and faculty collaboration and offers greater access to higher education. Completion date: December 2022 Move in date: January 2023

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.

1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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: $19M from one payer (an institutional transfer, not a grant programme, largest Animas High School). These are real filings, and they are not money Animas High School Building Corp raised.

From the IRS filings of Animas High School Building Corp’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.

Where its funders are

100% of Animas High School Building Corp'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $34 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
