What Banana Fana Preschool does
Mission
Banana Fana Preschool provides safe, high-quality, relationship-based spanishenglish bilingual and bicultural early childhood education, fostering social-emotional growth, trust, and a supportive, equitable community for families in the greater san francisco area.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Banana Fana Preschool (bfp) is a mission-driven early childhood education program serving families across the greater san francisco area, with a strong focus on supporting historically underserved communities in the mission district. While our childcare center operates as a tuition-based program to sustain daily operations, we are also a tax-exempt nonprofit organization. This hybrid model allows us to balance sustainability with impact, using grants, donations, and community partnerships to reduce financial barriers and expand access to high-quality care for families who might otherwise be unable to afford it.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2023 to 2024, from $180k to $338k (+88%).
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: 2022 29% · 2023 28%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
22% of BANANA FANA PRESCHOOL’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (48% for the typical peer).
