What Artesian Schools Inc does
Mission
The mission of artesian schools, inc. Is to fill unmet needs in k-12 education to ensure post-secondary readiness for memphis students.
As stated on its FY2020 Form 990.
Program
During the fiscal year ending june 30, 2020, artesian schools, inc. Operated southwest early college high school, a public charter high school in memphis, tn. The beginning of the fiscal year saw the high school increase in student population as well as demonstrated significant staff turnover with new leadership. Expenses were driven primarily by student population. The school's main expenses were for faculty and staff and benefits including retirement; school bus transportation; and its facilities lease. As the school is an early college high school and students begin taking college courses as early as 9th grade, the organization paid tuition for these courses to the college. Lastly, the organization purchased materials for, and engaged in, marketing and community outreach in order to recruit students and teachers to the school. Due to unfortunate circumstances at the county level, the school went through turbulent times and lost over half of its student population by january. The school closed in june 2020. Even with a high level of student attrition, the organization's investments in the school's personne and instructional resources allowed artesian to end its fiscal year with…

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 2018 to 2019, from $583k to $1.1M (+91%).
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: 2018 80% · 2019 80% · 2020 100%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
101% of ARTESIAN SCHOOLS INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (48% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 2 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $214k → $16.
4 of 5 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.

How concentrated its funding is
ARTESIAN SCHOOLS INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 89% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 ARTESIAN SCHOOLS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 98% · 2018 100% · 2019 78% · 2020 94% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — 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.
Where its funders are
100% of ARTESIAN SCHOOLS 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 $2k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Georgia, across 1 state.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.6M arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
