Programs
Beyond 12 is a technology-enabled service organization that partners with high schools, college success organizations, and colleges that are committed to helping their students succeed in higher education. Through a digital platform that combines human coaches who work with students virtually while they're in college and an ai-powered analytics engine, beyond 12 helps institutions provide their students with the academic, social, and emotional support they need to succeed in higher education and beyond.personalized student coaching - research has shown that academic, social, and emotional engagement are crucial to student success in college and that hands-on support is often critical to ensuring that students from underresourced communities persist past the difficult first years.

Key components of the platform include: a student tracker that allows pre-college organizations to collect, track, and analyze their alumni's college and workforce data to evaluate the efficacy of their college-readiness models and inform future program design; a campus-customized app that reminds students of the activities, deadlines, and behaviors that lead to success, translating essential college tasks into actionable, bite-size steps; and an analytics engine that uses machine learning to predict a student's likelihood of dropping out. Trained on historical beyond 12 student data, up-to-date institutional data, and a student's own performance data-and informed by robust student progress data captured by beyond 12 coaches-the model generates point-in-time predictions of a student's likelihood of re-enrolling in the next term. These tools allow beyond 12 to better predict which students need help and when, provide the right type of support,…

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 2020 to 2021, from $2.4M to $8.9M (+270%).
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: 2020 11%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
81% of BEYOND 12 EDUCATION INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (48% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 10 funders to 23 funders, grant income rose $1.3M → $8.7M.
18 of 51 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 15% 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 BEYOND 12 EDUCATION INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 51 funders by total. 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
BEYOND 12 EDUCATION INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 23% of grant income, and it takes 6 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 funders to its left
69% 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 BEYOND 12 EDUCATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 40% · 2018 42% · 2019 33% · 2020 23% · 2021 61% · 2022 33% · 2023 35% — diversifying over time.
“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
50% of BEYOND 12 EDUCATION INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 59% 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
BEYOND 12 EDUCATION INC draws 68% of its grant income from funders outside California, across 11 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $6.0M arriving through sponsors registered in 12 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.
Against its field
BEYOND 12 EDUCATION INC's funding base is broadening — from 10 funders to 23 as grant income climbed.
