What Discovery Learning Center does
Mission
To create and support educational environments that empower children with the love of learning and to educate parents and the community; to employ and train educators in a community of practice; to acquire and maintain facilities and equipment to this end and in service to our community.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
A comprehensive education program in a Montessori school environment for a community of families and children in early childhood classrooms and school grounds. School events, parent education, meetings, teacher education and development are scheduled and attended annually. School personnel help families learn about a child's development and progress and become effective advocates for excellent education and make choices beneficial to a child's success. The school use of accommodations includes maintenance and improvements that preserve the facility and provide for regular use by the school program. The community is welcome to attend our open house events and schedule school visits to observe the program. Our inclusive policies provide access to all programs by any family who chooses to participate. The school director is supported in efforts to reach out into the broad community, to engage in work groups in support of early childhood education and the rights of children and to advocate on behalf of our work toward favorable policy development.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
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 $273k to $366k (+34%).
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 14% · 2021 8% · 2022 3% · 2023 2% · 2024 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $169 → $8k.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 7% 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 DISCOVERY LEARNING CENTER’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
DISCOVERY LEARNING CENTER leans on a few funders — its largest provides 93% 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 DISCOVERY LEARNING CENTER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 99% — 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 DISCOVERY LEARNING CENTER's grant income comes from Washington funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $579 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.
