Program
During 2024, Adventures Publishing House advanced the development of its Youth Peace Literacy Initiative formerly Peace First, an innovative program that integrates literacy, social-emotional learning, positive mental health, youth leadership, and emerging technologies. In partnership with Farmless, the organization successfully facilitated a pilot cohort serving 18 students, providing instruction in peace literacy, storytelling, creative writing, problem-solving, conflict resolution, and self-expression through authentic narratives. The organization also developed the initial Peace First methodology, creating a foundational instructional framework that combines peace literacy principles, restorative practices, youth voice, literacy instruction, and social-emotional learning.

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 2023 to 2024, from $4 to $465k (+11612525%).
How it's funded, over time

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 EDUCATION AT SCALE 501C3’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.
Where its funders are
100% of EDUCATION AT SCALE 501C3's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10k 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.
