What National Association of Episcopal Schools Inc does
Mission
The national association of episcopal schools (naes), an independently incorporated, voluntary membership organization, supports, serves, and advocates for the vital work and ministry of those who serve over 800 schools, early childhood education programs, school establishment efforts, and their sponsoring institutions throughout the episcopal church.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
In-person conferences: every two years, naes hosts a national conference for all those serving in episcopal schools. This includes worship, keynote speakers, and workshops covering topics such as episcopal identity, governance, deib, chaplaincy, and student leadership. This provides professional and spiritual development for those serving our member schools. In addition, naes hosts a variety of focused conferences around chaplaincy, headship, deib practices, and parish/school relationships. Webinars: in addition to in-person offerings, naes provides webinars on a variety of topics of interest to those serving in episcopal schools. The topics addressed are similar to those of in-person events, but are provided free of charge to members as a way to control school expenses when accessing high quality professional development. Further, those holding different roles in episcopal schools are invited to join a monthly networking video call where questions of practice can be explored in greater detail.

Naes does this through regular programming for heads of schools, rectors, and chaplains. Further, naes works with new leaders through our chaplain mentoring program and our new heads gatherings to ensure the success of those starting their journey in our schools. Finally, naes lifts up the next generation of leaders through our jonathan t. Glass institute for aspiring leaders where participants discern whether or not they are called to headship in an episcopal school.

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 2020 to 2021, from $3.7M to $4.7M (+27%).
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 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 6 funders, grant income rose $272k → $563k.
6 of 14 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 89% 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 NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF EPISCOPAL SCHOOLS INC’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
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF EPISCOPAL SCHOOLS INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 77% of grant income and the top three 89%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
95% 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 NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF EPISCOPAL SCHOOLS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 94% · 2018 74% · 2019 43% · 2020 71% · 2021 80% · 2022 70% · 2023 90% — diversifying over time.
“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.
How long its funders stay
60% of NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF EPISCOPAL SCHOOLS INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 64% give in more than one year at all.
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
89% of NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF EPISCOPAL SCHOOLS 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 $236k that is directly attributable, 54% of it comes from funders outside New York, across 6 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.9M arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
