What East Side Union High School District Education Foundation does
Mission
The East Side Union High School Education Foundation was founded to provide support and enhancement of extracurricular, educational, and athletic opportunities for students in East San Jose, California. Our mission is to promote and create bold and innovative programs, services, and partnerships that measurably elevate sustainable student success.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
The Organization started a new program called Gear UP SJSU.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
Gear UP- The current GEAR UP program opportunity serves two districts within the ESA, the Franklin McKinley and Alum Rock Union School Districts. These two districts serve a significant proportion of students in the K-8 grades who would be classified as low socioeconomic, English Learners and students of color within the ESA and Santa Clara County at large. Each district has approximately 700 students about to enter grade 8. The goal of the GEAR UP grant is to have students college and career ready by the end of high school.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2021 to 2022, from $88k to $235k (+166%).
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: 2022 0% · 2023 7% · 2024 22% · 2025 51%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
96% of East Side Union High School District Education Foundation’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (57% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

5 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 25% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
58% 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 East Side Union High School District Education Foundation.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 77% · 2020 60% · 2021 44% · 2022 66% · 2023 34% — diversifying over time.
“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

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
100% of East Side Union High School District Education Foundation's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $72k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
