01What it does

What Lighthouse Classical Homeschoolers does

Mission

The mission of Lighthouse Classical Academy (LCA) is to provide a rigorous academicprogram that is both distinctly biblical and classical, that will enable young men and women to grow in Christ and become servant leaders, transforming families, communities, and nations for Gods glory.

As stated on its FY2022 Form 990.

Program

  1. During the 2020-2021 academic year, Lighthouse maintained a full and robust academic regimen despite the COVID-19 lockdown and statewide mandated closure of schools. On March 13, 2020, we implemented our protocol for conversion to fully online learning for the remainder of the academic year. Our academic standards, requirements, and original lesson plans with assignments remained the same. While adjusting to the new online learning model, our teachers gave full support to our Lighthouse students.In August of 2020 we welcomed our students back for in-person learning which we have continued to maintain through the 20212022 academic year.

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.

2 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 LIGHTHOUSE CLASSICAL HOMESCHOOLERS’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

LIGHTHOUSE CLASSICAL HOMESCHOOLERS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 99% 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

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 LIGHTHOUSE CLASSICAL HOMESCHOOLERS.

Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 99% · 2021 99% · 2022 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

100% of LIGHTHOUSE CLASSICAL HOMESCHOOLERS'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $29k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
