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.
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: 2017 3% · 2019 7% · 2020 5% · 2021 7% · 2022 22% · 2023 11% · 2024 3% · 2025 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
13% of HARLEM VILLAGE ACADEMIES CHARTER SCHOOLS’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. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Left out of every figure on this page: $6.2M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Village Academies Network Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money HARLEM VILLAGE ACADEMIES CHARTER SCHOOLS raised.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
71% 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 HARLEM VILLAGE ACADEMIES CHARTER SCHOOLS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 50% · 2018 53% · 2019 50% · 2020 100% · 2022 62% — growing more concentrated.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $51k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 statesis 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.
