What Mothers Tutoring Academy does
Mission
Mothers Tutoring Academy (MTA) is a non-profit and an after-school tutoring institution founded on the tenets of the bylaws of the State of Minnesota. It's co-educational where both genders sit and study together and an inclusive school for all races and ethnicities. Our mission is to help students develop the literary and cultural skills needed to become success students in the U.S. education system. Provide tutoring and mentoring assistance for students in reading, math, and science to help them achieve grade-level proficiency. Help students to achieve proper grade level studies by offering the missed courses and class works in previous school years by filling in lesson gaps found through assessment tests and reviews during tutoring sessions. Provide students love and emotional support to help them feel sense of belonging and to become self-motivated to attain self-esteem through higher school performance, and to solicit the help and commitment of parents to be part of their children
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Founded in 2013, MTA is a non-profit, an after-school education and community program, providing tutoring services for low-income K-12 students in St. Paul, Minnesota. As nearly 100% of students are from families who are originally from East Africa, the cultural and educational difference between their home countries and the U.S. education system has resulted in many entering schools behind in core subjects, with this gap only widening without the necessary support. It was disheartening to discover that many students at the MTA centers were significantly below their expected grade levels. Mothers Tutoring Academy (MTA) supports at-risk students from low-income communities, all of whom qualify for reduced lunch programs. These students often demonstrate persistent patterns of underachievement and social maladjustment in school, which can lead to their failure to complete high school or an increased risk of dropping out at an early stage due to academic challenges and various other issues. Upon their arrival in the United States, these students are classified as at-risk due to several factors that may hinder their ability to graduate from high school, develop work skills, and become…
$197,171 spentof which $214,580 as grants$4,600 earned by the program100% of program spendingAn integral component of the tutoring program from its inception was to foster greater parental involvement and acknowledge that learning begins at home. Both parents and educators/tutors can make distinct contributions to enhance the educational process. Meaningful parental involvement in education is a strong predictor of high academic achievement among students. The objective is to establish a collaborative partnership where tutors, schoolteachers, and parents share expertise and responsibility to provide optimal education for children, with each party contributing unique strengths to the relationship. Mutual respect, long-term commitment to a variety of activities, and shared planning and decision-making responsibilities are essential components for true partnerships between parents and tutors. This partnership consistently yields positive outcomes for the students concerned. MTA mandates that our tutors maintain dependable, confidential, open, and honest relationships with parents. Additionally, MTA conducts monthly parent outreach and networking meetings to acquaint parents and families with the country's culture and customs, the school system, its structures, expectations,…

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 $13k to $39k (+210%).
How it's funded, over time

Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income fell $40k → $28k.
1 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 32% 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 MOTHERS TUTORING ACADEMY’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
MOTHERS TUTORING ACADEMY leans on a few funders — its largest provides 32% of grant income and the top three 83%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
83% 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 MOTHERS TUTORING ACADEMY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 75% · 2020 100% · 2023 71% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Where its funders are
100% of MOTHERS TUTORING ACADEMY's grant income comes from Minnesota funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $76k 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.
