What Educurious Partners does
Mission
Prepare young people for school, work, and life through authentic project-based learning experiences that spark curiosity, foster collaboration, and ignite the skills and dispositions to be long-life learners and thrive in an ever-changing world.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
On its FY2023 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
At year end, the educurious board of directors voted unanimously to merge with a mission-aligned organization, the national center on education and the economy (ncee). Accordingly, programs and assets owned and managed under educurious are now owned and managed by ncee and will be in subsequent years.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Educurious is a seattle, wa-based 501(c)(3) organization which originated with a grant from the bill & melinda gates foundation in partnership with the university of washington. Educurious designs and delivers authentic project-based learning (pbl) curriculum and learning experiences for young people and professional development opportunities for educators. Their design principles are grounded in the science of learning-understanding how and why people learn. Their approach engages and inspires students to acquire deep content knowledge while developing the skills and dispositions to succeed in school, work, and life. Educurious curriculum and professional development opportunities are delivered digitally, in-person, and virtually in the united states and u.s. Territories. Educurious also designs and offers a wide array of open education resources (oer) which are freely available online through sprocket, a platform originally developed by lucas education research. Educurious has directly impacted over 48k educators and 346k students across 32 states, puerto rico, and the u.s. Virgin islands.other accomplishments include:-expanded work in washington state to co-develop curriculum…

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.
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 $7.8M to $0 (−100%).
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: 2018 2% · 2021 34% · 2022 6% · 2023 10% · 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. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 3 funders to 2 funders, grant income fell $590k → $12k.
2 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 4% 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 EDUCURIOUS PARTNERS’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
EDUCURIOUS PARTNERS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 53% of grant income and the top three 91%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 93% · 2018 61% · 2019 68% · 2020 83% · 2021 93% · 2022 95% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
“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
22% of EDUCURIOUS PARTNERS's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 40% 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
EDUCURIOUS PARTNERS draws 99% of its grant income from funders outside Washington, D.C., across 6 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $48k 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.
