What Hope Toledo Services does
Mission
Our mission is to support and ensure high-quality education, from preschool to postsecondary and trade school, for every young person in the toledo region, creating generational economic change for the betterment of our families and community.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Hope toledo promise is a novel, two-generation approach that supports students and families as they pursue postsecondary opportunities. The program is the first fully funded two-generation scholarship program of its kind and provides tuition, room, board, books and fees to students participating. The program is piloted at jesup w. Scott high school and currently has more than 150 student and parent scholars from three cohorts attending more than 20 institutions throughout ohio. Based on two studies conducted by northwestern, the postsecondary enrollment rate increased by 70% and the persistence rate among our first two cohorts sits just above 54% (cohort 1 = 43%; cohort 2 = 69%). There have been 18 graduates since the inception of the program three years ago and we expect more to join those ranks in the coming year.
$1,264,170 spentof which $998,915 as grants32% of program spendingHope toledo pre-k has created a comprehensive community-based approach to early childhood education and care through a unique partnership with 20 preschool providers located strategically across the northwest ohio region. Through this effort we have served over 800 children with culturally rich, evidence-based curriculum delivered by credentialed teachers receiving a living wage. The program further supports teachers through ongoing professional development and providers through business supports. Parents receive various levels of engagement and support to assist them in ensuring their child attends and participates in the program. Through the first two school years, 30% of children from hope classrooms performed at the "demonstrating level" on the kindergarten readiness assessment, which outperforms the assessments of children who did not have access to this service.

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 2022 to 2023, from $1.7M to $601k (−65%).
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: 2022 37% · 2023 55% · 2024 59%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of HOPE TOLEDO SERVICES’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (48% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $373k → $404k.
2 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 52% 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 HOPE TOLEDO SERVICES’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
HOPE TOLEDO SERVICES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 52% of grant income and the top three 88%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
61% 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 HOPE TOLEDO SERVICES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 40% · 2022 58% · 2023 50% — 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
52% of HOPE TOLEDO SERVICES'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 $819k that is directly attributable, 64% of it comes from funders outside Ohio, across 3 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $895k 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.
