What Leeway School does
Mission
A non-profit agency which provides education and various therapies to children with disabilities from birth to five years of age.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Leeway's programs are designed to prepare students for their school careers and beyond. Through leeway's dedicated and experienced staff, leeway provides a comprehensive program that supports children and their families. Leeway uses proven strategies to devlop students to their greatest potential. There are so many ways to chart the growth of children during their time at Leeway School but some of the growth is in ways that can never be measured. For example, children build confidence in their abilities, make lasting friendships and develop a love for learning. These things may not be able to be measured by a test, but they can make a big difference in the life of a child.

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.
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 $1.0M to $1.3M (+23%).
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: 2017 5% · 2018 5% · 2019 5% · 2020 5% · 2021 5% · 2022 16% · 2023 6% · 2024 6% · 2025 4%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $103 → $351.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 45% 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 LEEWAY SCHOOL’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
LEEWAY SCHOOL leans on a few funders — its largest provides 55% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
45% 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 LEEWAY SCHOOL.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 83% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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
LEEWAY SCHOOL draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside New York, across 1 state in all.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1k 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.
