What Millennium School of San Francisco does
Mission
See schedule oto realize the transformative potential of middle school. Millennium school believes in developing each student to their fullest potential, this involves providing both a rigorous academic program and a science-based foundation for human development. Development science is the integration of neuroscience and developmental psychology, it offers us a scientific foundation for healthy individual formation. In contrast to academic testing alone, it provides a more integrated educational framework through which educators can apply a range of immersive curricula and experiences to foster healthy human development as well as advanced academic readiness. We base our curriculum on three essential elements provided by developmental science: provide a space for self-exploration, provide a safe social environment, provide connection to the real world.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

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 2022 to 2023, from $1.5M to $3.6M (+139%).
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: 2021 8% · 2023 8%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
98% 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 MILLENNIUM SCHOOL OF SAN FRANCISCO.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 80% · 2018 68% · 2019 49% · 2020 69% · 2021 67% · 2022 55% · 2023 37% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
98% of MILLENNIUM SCHOOL OF SAN FRANCISCO'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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.5M arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
