What Farmington-Farmington Hills Education Foundation does
Mission
The Farmington/Farmington Hills Education Foundation was established to support and promote innovative educational opportunities to benefit the students of Farmington Public Schools. We engage in fundraising, relationship building, and granting money to educational projects.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The Foundation received designated donations to be used to fund the expenses of the Farmington United Robotics Team. The Robotics Team consists of students from Farmington High School, North Farmington High School and the middle schools. The Team consists of approximately 100 students. These donations were given to the Foundation by a number of community donors to be used for the Robotics Team in Farmington. The remaining funds are on account, waiting to be spent by the grant recipients.

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 2021 to 2022, from $40k to $86k (+114%).
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: 2020 9% · 2021 12% · 2022 0% · 2023 0% · 2024 0% · 2025 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
108% of FARMINGTON-FARMINGTON HILLS EDUCATION FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (57% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income fell $17k → $16k.
2 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 9% 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 FARMINGTON-FARMINGTON HILLS EDUCATION FOUNDATION’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
FARMINGTON-FARMINGTON HILLS EDUCATION FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 88% of grant income and the top three 98%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
97% 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 FARMINGTON-FARMINGTON HILLS EDUCATION FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 98% · 2021 100% · 2022 67% · 2023 99% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Where its funders are
FARMINGTON-FARMINGTON HILLS EDUCATION FOUNDATION draws 97% of its grant income from funders outside Michigan, across 2 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $11k 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.
