What Century Community Charter Schools Inc does
Mission
Our mission is to provide middle school-aged students a safe, secure, and positive learning environment that facilitates the growth and development of urban students beginning with the sixth grade. Our students will be empowered with the ability to read, write, speak and calculate with clarity in order to excel in a 21st century global society. Century community charter school (cccs) enables students to become self-motivated, lifelong learners by providing a multi-cultural, student-centered environment in which all students will be held to high academic and behavioral standards. Cccs is driven to operate a school that will significantly outperform other public schools in the surrounding areas in preparing our students to succeed in secondary and post-secondary education.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Century community charter school (cccs) is an independent charter school serving 6th through 8th grade students, chartered by lennox school district. We are the home of the bears, adopting the cal colors and mascot, who strive to live up to the commitment of achievement, academics, and accountability. Students are challenged and provided with the tools to meet and often exceed their goals. Cccs is a common core standards-driven project-based learning community. All of our teachers design their own curriculum based on the standards addressed. We are a positive behavior intervention and support (pbis) school.

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 2023 to 2024, from $9.3M to $11M (+18%).
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: 2017 99% · 2018 98% · 2019 98% · 2020 98% · 2021 99% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% · 2024 97% · 2025 95%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
95% of CENTURY COMMUNITY CHARTER SCHOOLS INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (48% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income fell $25k → $17.
1 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% 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 CENTURY COMMUNITY CHARTER SCHOOLS INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 2 of 3 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
CENTURY COMMUNITY CHARTER SCHOOLS INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 100% 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 CENTURY COMMUNITY CHARTER SCHOOLS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 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 CENTURY COMMUNITY CHARTER SCHOOLS INC's grant income comes from California funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $55 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.
