What Kinwell Academy Inc does
Mission
Kinwell academy, inc. Provides an alternative high school education for students where public school did not work for them. It focuses on holistic education that targets each student's emotional and academic needs.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Kinwell academy, inc. Serviced 38 students who were struggling in public schools in grant county, indiana. During the year, dr. Keith puffer and a group of indiana wesleyan university students studied the students and evaluated some of the trauma which had greatly influenced the student's ability to learn. As a result, students were given opportunities to enjoy music and art therapy classes. The school averaged 12.7 credits per student, which led to six students graduating and moving on to their adult roles and responsibilities. Two of the graduates is pursuing higher education and the other four are working full time.

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. 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 2023 to 2024, from $212k to $300k (+42%).
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.
36% of KINWELL ACADEMY INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (57% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $18k 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.
