What Crane Country Day School does
Mission
Crane Country Day School is dedicated to providing an experiential education.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
In fiscal 2025, crane continued focused on planning and implementing the initiatives it set for itself in its 2022-2027 strategic plan, which includes expanding the school's efforts on diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. To that end, crane named its first ever director of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. Other strategic initiatives the school is focusing on include amplifying experiential learning; creating a faculty growth plan to develop, support, reward, and inspire crane teachers; promoting a healthy community of kindness, support, courage and respect; strengthening crane's approach toward neurodiversity; and elevating marketing and communications. Also, in fy2025, crane continued its effort to raise $10 million towards a staffulty endowment. It is close to meeting this goal. In addition, crane continued to invest in experiential education, broadening and offering more hands-on experiences for students.

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 2022 to 2023, from $27M to $34M (+29%).
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.
18% of CRANE COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (23% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 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 19 funders to 31 funders, grant income rose $795k → $2.0M.

From the IRS filings of CRANE COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 58 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
CRANE COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 18% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
70% 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 CRANE COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 21% · 2018 36% · 2019 73% · 2020 35% · 2021 30% · 2022 23% · 2023 25% — growing more concentrated.
“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
58% of CRANE COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 71% 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
70% of CRANE COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL'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 $3.6M that is directly attributable, 51% of it comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $8.3M arriving through sponsors registered in 10 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.
