What Elijah House Academy does
Mission
The mission of Elijah House Academy is to provide a christ-centered and accessible choice in education that cultivates the hearts, minds, and bodies of our city's children for god's glory and richmond's flourishing. The majority of our students, transitional kindergarten through eighth grade, are either economically disadvantaged or educationally disenfranchised, and eha offers all of our learners a safe place to grow in confidence and purpose. Because Elijah House Academy provides tuition on a sliding scale, it is an excellent and accessible choice for all richmond families. Every student is equipped with the academic and social-emotional skills required to succeed in the classroom, home, and society. We do this by offering our students a liberal arts education, public speaking, habit formation, academic support, mentorship, enrichment classes, and athletics - all in a small classroom environment.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Eha is accredited by cognia. During the school year 2024-2025, eha provided 187 richmond children a safe,academically challenging,quality education that is value based. Only about 19% of our income comes from tuition payments. For the balance of our funding needs, eha house relies on donations from those who support our mission including individual donors,church & corporate sponsors, and charitable foundations.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2020 to 2021, from $4.0M to $7.9M (+95%).
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% · 2019 2% · 2020 2% · 2021 6% · 2022 3% · 2023 3% · 2024 4% · 2025 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 17 funders to 33 funders, grant income rose $373k → $1.5M.
17 of 55 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 52% 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 ELIJAH HOUSE ACADEMY’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 55 funders by total. 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
ELIJAH HOUSE ACADEMY has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 20% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
52% 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 ELIJAH HOUSE ACADEMY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 34% · 2018 19% · 2019 16% · 2020 56% · 2021 47% · 2022 52% · 2023 37% — 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
58% of ELIJAH HOUSE ACADEMY's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 80% 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
52% of ELIJAH HOUSE ACADEMY'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. Of the $3.7M that is directly attributable, 55% of it comes from Virginia funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $4.0M arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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.
