What Ednavigator Inc does
Mission
Ednavigator works to ensure every child, especially those facing systemic barriers, has access to the educational opportunities and services they need to thrive.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
See schedule o founded in 2015, ednavigator is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring that every child - especially those facing systemic barriers - has access to the educational opportunities and services they need to thrive. Our work is grounded in the belief that when barriers are removed and the right supports are in place, every child can reach their full potential. Through partnerships with pediatric clinics and healthcare providers, ednavigator connects families to expert education advisors - known as navigators - who understand the local education landscape and provide targeted assistance with school-related challenges. By bringing trusted educational support directly to families where they live and seek care, ednavigator helps remove barriers, strengthen family engagement, and create pathways to better outcomes for students.

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 2018 to 2019, from $3.6M to $5.9M (+64%).
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: 2021 10% · 2022 4% · 2023 29% · 2024 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
81% of EDNAVIGATOR INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than 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 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 6 funders, grant income rose $750k → $2.0M.
4 of 18 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 27% 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 EDNAVIGATOR INC’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
EDNAVIGATOR INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 26% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
36% 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 EDNAVIGATOR INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 67% · 2018 77% · 2019 61% · 2020 30% · 2021 26% · 2022 32% · 2023 25% — 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
36% of EDNAVIGATOR INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 61% 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
EDNAVIGATOR INC draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Illinois, across 7 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.5M arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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
EDNAVIGATOR INC's funding base is broadening — from 3 funders to 6 as grant income climbed.
