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.
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 94% · 2018 93% · 2019 94% · 2020 95% · 2021 96% · 2022 97% · 2023 90% · 2024 96% · 2025 93%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
94% of EAGLE RIDGE ACADEMY’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (23% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 2 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $40k → $17k.
Left out of every figure on this page: $35k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Friends of Eagle Ridge Academy Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money EAGLE RIDGE ACADEMY raised.
From the IRS filings of EAGLE RIDGE ACADEMY’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
EAGLE RIDGE ACADEMY leans on a few funders — its largest provides 86% of grant income and the top three 97%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
92% 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 EAGLE RIDGE ACADEMY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 72% · 2018 80% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 88% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
