What Legacy Academy for Jewish Education Inc does
Mission
Legacy Academy was created to serve the Jewish community in the Los Angeles area. We began with a philosophy that every child should have a school that will help them to thrive academically, socially and emotionally. The multi age learning environment that students learn in encourages students of all ages to learn from each other and care for one another. Students spend time learning in small groups that tailor to each groups needs and goals. Teachers work to understand each child and develop a learning environment that will allow each child to work at a pace and focus that is best suited for him or her. By providing students with a safe environment for individualized learning, students feel comfortable and willing to learn new skills and concepts. We focus on helping students develop a willingness to try, work hard and think critically. 3 points to our Philosophy: Meaningful Education: our goal is to provide educational curriculum that engages students minds, hearts and souls. We beli
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
We designed our school as a collaborative program where parents are deeply involved in the school. Parents help to choose curriculum, organize events, teach classes (both academic and extra curricular) and are always welcome to come learn with their students because we have an open door policy for all parents, all day. All students participate in the California homeschool charter network and receive guidance from California credentialed teachers to provide thorough oversight. We have enjoyed growth from 32 kids at the beginning of our first year to 63 at the beginning of our second year. We feel that 50-60 kids in our program is an appropriate amount for the type of education environment we are creating, but would like to develop to two full programs: one for boys and one for girls, with approximately 50 in each.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 $247k to $517k (+109%).
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: 2020 2% · 2023 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

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 LEGACY ACADEMY FOR JEWISH EDUCATION INC.
“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
80% of LEGACY ACADEMY FOR JEWISH EDUCATION INC'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 $9k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside California, across 1 state.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $35k 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.
