What De la Salle Academy does
Mission
De la Salle Academy is a transformative, independent middle school for academically talented students seeking greater educational access and opportunities in new york city, regardless of their financials means. We guide our students through a challenging, creative, and values-driven curriculum that inspires curiosity, confidence, and self-discovery. Rooted in the lasallian tradition and in partnership with our families, our diverse community empowers students to lead with character, purpose, and generosity.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
In 2024-2025, De la Salle Academy provided 133 academically talented and economically less advantaged adolescents in grades six through eight with a spiritually nurturing and academically challenging environment they needed to ensure bright futures. Students take a rigorous and accelerated curriculum that has exposure to a broader range of social and spiritual values that are not present in the normal school curriculum. No student who qualified for admission has been turned away because of a family's financial situation. Tuition and fees, net of financial aid scholarships to the students, accounted for less than 10% of the total revenue of the academy.

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 $17M to $16M (−7%).
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 4% · 2022 3% · 2023 1% · 2025 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
36% of DE LA SALLE ACADEMY’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (48% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 8 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 18 funders to 33 funders, grant income rose $451k → $1.4M.
12 of 66 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 17% 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: $619k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Friends of de la Salle Academy Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money DE LA SALLE ACADEMY raised.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.6M arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
