Mission

Program

Effective june 9, 2022, the graduate school signed an asset transfer agreement with the university of kansas ("ku") for the university to acquire its programming. The transaction assets include: 1) all of the graduate school's rights, title and interest in and to its educational programs, and all related intellectual property; 2) all written or digital courses; and 3) all rights and licenses with regard to the program elements jointly developed with mit. The graduate school officially ceased programmatic operations as of june 30, 2022. The organization was formally dissolved effective april 13, 2023.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
The graduate school offers a competency-based teacher preparation program for middle and secondary school stem subjects including math, biology, and chemistry. See schedule o.

The program described on its FY2022 Form 990. Program spending in total: $117,709.
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.
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 $1.3M to $0 (−100%).
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 9% · 2022 15%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2022: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income fell $8.3M → $1.5M.
4 of 9 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 HIGH MEADOWS GRADUATE SCHOOL OF TEACHING AND LEARNING INC’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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
75% 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 HIGH MEADOWS GRADUATE SCHOOL OF TEACHING AND LEARNING INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 71% · 2020 50% · 2021 78% · 2022 67% — 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.

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 FY2022, 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

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.4M 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.
