What Christian Enterprises does
Mission
To establish, maintain and operate christian schools and/or other related institutions in order to educate and develop the whole person for the glory of god, and to communicate and promote the gospel of jesus christ.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
On its FY2024 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
In December 2023, Rainier Christian and Renton Christian collectively agreed to a Memo of Understanding which indicated the intent for Rainier Christian to join Renton Christian under the existing governance and leadership of New Life Church. In February 2024, following a time of mutual due diligence, the governing boards of both organizations approved proposed joining of the two organizations. Both schools continued to operate independently but cooperatively for the remainder of the 2023-2024 school year. In July 2024, Renton Christian entered into an Administrative Services agreement to provide operational services on behalf of the Rainier Christian School Board. Effective January 1, 2025, all employees serving Rainier Christian became employees of New Life Church. Their staffing expense is reimbursed by Rainier Christian with every payroll. In June 2025, Rainier Christian School fully joined Renton Christian School through a dissolution and transfer of assets process, thereby contributing its assets to the church. The title to the land and buildings have been transferred with the exception of one property that is delayed due to Department of Education requirements on the property. The remaining property is expected to be transferred once the requirements can be cleared. The Christian Enterprises entity will continue to exist until the remaining property is able to be transferred.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Provide pre-school through 12th grade christian education to over 200 students at 3 locations.

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 $3.5M to $11M (+224%).
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 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
7% of CHRISTIAN ENTERPRISES’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue 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. 5 of the last 9 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 broadened from 1 funder to 6 funders, grant income rose $200 → $44k.
4 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 90% 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 CHRISTIAN ENTERPRISES’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.
How concentrated its funding is
CHRISTIAN ENTERPRISES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 44% of grant income and the top three 90%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
98% 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 CHRISTIAN ENTERPRISES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2020 99% · 2021 94% · 2022 69% · 2023 45% — 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.
Where its funders are
90% of CHRISTIAN ENTERPRISES'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 $11k that is directly attributable, 82% of it comes from Washington funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $97k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
