Programs
Direct support to Glades Academy, Inc. in Pahokee, FL which serves young children from kindergarden through 8th grade and has been in continuous operation since 2000. The funds were used by the school to purchase educational materials, and for the general support of academic programs where money from the school district was not sufficient to support the day to day academic programs needed for a school in this disadvantaged area of Palm Beach County. This elementary and middle school located on the campus of New Hope Charities has state of the art classrooms, learning labs, and other enhanced day and after school programs. At present over 235 students annually receive their academic experience from highly credentialed teachers and school leaders. The school continues to excel in all areas.

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 2023 to 2024, from $4.1M to $5.4M (+33%).
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.

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.

Where its funders are
79% of Glades Academy Foundation Inc's grant income comes from Florida funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $323k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
