What Honeypot Montessori Incorporated does
Mission
Honeypot Montessori is a nature learning micro-school located in the Greater Newark area. We are the first of its kind and have situated ourselves at the heart of Newarks community revitalization and environmental justice movements to encourage residents to reshape our collective understanding towards educating children for life and liberation as an important factor. The Montessori method inspires radical creativity independence and critical thinking in children as they journey toward self-construction.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Our organization delivered tailored Montessori education services to a cohort of ten children aged 3 to 6. Our program emphasized nature-inspired learning and STEM enrichment activities. Through hands-on experiences and individualized instruction we fostered a holistic approach to early childhood education nurturing curiosity and a love for learning in each child.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 $68k to $85k (+24%).
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.
74% of Honeypot Montessori Incorporated’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (57% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 Honeypot Montessori Incorporated.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 77% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
“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
Honeypot Montessori Incorporated draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside New Jersey, across 1 state in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $20k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
