What Health and Education Alliance of Louisiana does
Mission
Heal's goal is to integrate and systematize a process for addressing health disparities that are prevalent in children who live in poverty. We believe that these health disparities are a major causal factor that results in academic failure. We also believe that the best way to address these factors is where the child is every day- at school. It is a public health approach to community based prevantative health and mental health services.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

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 2017 to 2018, from $727k to $329k (−55%).
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: 2019 2% · 2020 8% · 2021 19% · 2022 1% · 2023 17%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
74% of HEALTH AND EDUCATION ALLIANCE OF LOUISIANA’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (48% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year

3 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 15% 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 HEALTH AND EDUCATION ALLIANCE OF LOUISIANA’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
HEALTH AND EDUCATION ALLIANCE OF LOUISIANA leans on a few funders — its largest provides 40% of grant income and the top three 80%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
57% 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 HEALTH AND EDUCATION ALLIANCE OF LOUISIANA.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 86% · 2018 45% · 2019 50% · 2020 49% · 2021 74% · 2022 41% · 2023 40% — 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
43% of HEALTH AND EDUCATION ALLIANCE OF LOUISIANA's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 45% 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
53% of HEALTH AND EDUCATION ALLIANCE OF LOUISIANA's grant income comes from Louisiana funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $423k 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.
