$2,264,460 spent$12,701 earned by the program100% of program spendingThe genius school indy has unique programming that speaks to a holistic approach to education (academics, physical fitness, and socio-emotional well-being). Through our unique programming via martial arts and meditation, children have learned the skill and value of a meditative practice and the benefits of martial arts training and development. While all students at tgs meditate (focused concentration) and learn goal setting and character development principles through the practice and philosophy of martial arts (respect, patience, modesty, honesty, self-control, self-discipline, focus, bully prevention, physical fitness, etc.), we were able to take our students to out-of-state tournaments and national competitions - where many of our students also traveling out of state for the first time earned medals and honorable mentions.
Community outreach efforts continue as we serve mckinney-vento families that are experiencing homelessness as well was those families not designated mckinney-vento, yet are still in need of food and other resources. We are proud to provide food on a monthly basis and make important connections to resources around the city depending on need. Through these efforts, we were able to support over half of our families enrolled.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2018 to 2019, from $638k to $1.5M (+130%).
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: 2018 99% · 2019 100% · 2020 99% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 98% · 2024 99%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
