What Cristo Rey Philadelphia High School does
Mission
Cristo Rey Philadelphia High School (crphs) is an independent, catholic, college preparatory school for students of all faiths who cannot otherwise afford a private education. Cristo Rey Philadelphia High School nurtures and challenges young women and men to recognize and realize their full potential as they grow to love god, respect others and serve their community.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Cristo Rey Philadelphia High School provides a top-quality, college preparatory education with real-world work experience to students from under-resourced communities. Generous benefactors bridge the gap between what students earn at their cristo rey work-study job and what their families can afford to contribute. In fye 06/30/2025, our donors contributed more than $17 million dollars, making a cristo rey education possible for our nearly 530 students. Our seniors boast a 100% acceptance rate to 4-year colleges. We offer soccer, basketball, in-door and outdoor track, cheerleading, volleyball, choir, dance, student government, chess club, yearbook, karios retreats and other various clubs. In july 2020, construction was completed on our new school building which now provides our students with access to brand new classrooms, state of the art science and computer labs, a new gym, a track and field, and numerous other facilities. We were involved in all aspects of the development and construction to ensure the needs of our faculty and students were met.

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 2017 to 2018, from $17M to $42M (+145%).
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 1% · 2018 2% · 2019 2% · 2020 12% · 2022 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
60% of CRISTO REY PHILADELPHIA HIGH SCHOOL’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (23% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 15 funders to 42 funders, grant income rose $1.2M → $5.5M.
13 of 87 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 13% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $13M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Cristo Rey Philadelphia High School Work Study Program). These are real filings, and they are not money CRISTO REY PHILADELPHIA HIGH SCHOOL raised.
From the IRS filings of CRISTO REY PHILADELPHIA HIGH SCHOOL’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 87 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
CRISTO REY PHILADELPHIA HIGH SCHOOL leans on a few funders — its largest provides 46% of grant income and the top three 63%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
64% 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 CRISTO REY PHILADELPHIA HIGH SCHOOL.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 31% · 2018 50% · 2019 52% · 2020 47% · 2021 47% · 2022 35% · 2023 70% — 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
46% of CRISTO REY PHILADELPHIA HIGH SCHOOL's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 62% 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
78% of CRISTO REY PHILADELPHIA HIGH SCHOOL's grant income comes from Pennsylvania funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.9M 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.
Against its field
CRISTO REY PHILADELPHIA HIGH SCHOOL's funding base is broadening — from 15 funders to 42 as grant income climbed.
