What Fairfield Country Day School Corporation does
Mission
The Fairfield Country Day School Corporation educates boys in southwestern connecticut from kindergarten through ninth grade. The school provides an educational community dedicated to the personal growth and intellectual development of boys. A balanced and challenging program is designed to help each student expand his desire and ability to acquire knowledge, stimulate his curiosity and creativity, and enhance his self-esteem and respect for others. Each boy's individual development is encouraged in an environment that anticipates the future while appreciating the past.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The school provides education to approximately 200 students from kindergarten through grade 9. The curriculum and programs are designed specifically with best practices for boys education. The academic program is complemented by a rich and vibrant arts curriculum. Sports offerings round out the typical school day with age-appropriate physical education in the early grades, intramural sports in grades 4 and 5, and interscholastic team competition in grades 6 through 9. Public speaking and character development are the hallmark programs of the school.

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 2022 to 2023, from $23M to $21M (−9%).
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 12% · 2022 14%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
17% of FAIRFIELD COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL CORPORATION’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (23% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 8 of the last 9 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 broadened from 12 funders to 20 funders, grant income rose $78k → $165k.

From the IRS filings of FAIRFIELD COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL CORPORATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 40 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
FAIRFIELD COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL CORPORATION has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 21% 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
67% 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 FAIRFIELD COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL CORPORATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 33% · 2018 66% · 2019 46% · 2020 19% · 2021 42% · 2022 16% · 2023 20% — 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
54% of FAIRFIELD COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL CORPORATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 65% 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
54% of FAIRFIELD COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL CORPORATION'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 $806k that is directly attributable, 88% of it comes from Connecticut funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $952k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
