What Hollis Montessori School does
Mission
To provide authentic montessori education for children age 3 through middle school. The following objectives support the school's exempt purpose: to provide a safe, rich, peaceful environment for our children to grow and learn. We seek to empower, support, and guide them by granting them the freedom to explore and progress through their work at their own natural individual pace. We aim to inspire in each child a life-long love of learning, self-confidence, leadership, and sense of community and cooperation with others. We seek to foster an appreciation of our differences and an awareness and respect for all life on earth. It is our vision that our children be treated as individuals with intrinsic and infinite worth; that they be free to find the path that is right for them so they may reach their fullest potential as human beings.

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 2024 to 2025, from $4.4M to $4.7M (+7%).
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%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
23% of HOLLIS MONTESSORI SCHOOL’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (48% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income fell $65k → $58k.
5 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 87% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
HOLLIS MONTESSORI SCHOOL leans on a few funders — its largest provides 63% of grant income and the top three 94%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
87% 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 HOLLIS MONTESSORI SCHOOL.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 75% · 2020 63% · 2021 52% · 2022 45% · 2023 52% — 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.
Where its funders are
87% of HOLLIS MONTESSORI SCHOOL's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $55k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside New Hampshire, across 1 state.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $386k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
