What El Puente Educational Center does
Mission
Serve as a connection for latino students and families for academic success, well-being and increased integration into the dayton community
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
TUTORING AND EDUCATION SERVICES - We provide an after school program for Latino children in 1st - 6th grade who attend Dayton schools. We work with tutors from neighboring high schools and colleges that assist our Academic Coordinator/assistant to support the educational progress of the children in our program. We incorporated a pilot program with educational software to create individualized learning materials and identify areas of strength and weakness to have tutors work on those specific areas with each child. This structure will help reduce the gap created during the pandemic and has allowed the children to thrive. We partner with Wright State Universitys Education Department to hold an upper-level college class on site each fall semester providing one on one tutoring to a small group of students. We launched a GED program that enrolls both youth and adults who want to complete their high school diploma.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2020 to 2021, from $47k to $177k (+277%).
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 17% · 2023 45% · 2024 28% · 2025 14%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of EL PUENTE EDUCATIONAL CENTER’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (57% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 6 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
2018 → 2022: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $30k → $90k.
2 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 22% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
EL PUENTE EDUCATIONAL CENTER leans on a few funders — its largest provides 44% of grant income and the top three 77%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
83% 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 EL PUENTE EDUCATIONAL CENTER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 84% · 2020 60% · 2021 41% · 2022 66% — 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
50% of EL PUENTE EDUCATIONAL CENTER's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 30% 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 FY2022, 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
78% of EL PUENTE EDUCATIONAL CENTER's grant income comes from Ohio funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $114k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
