What National Education Opportunity Network Inc does
Mission
The National Education Equity Lab propels economic mobility for students from low-income communities by delivering college credit-bearing courses from our nation's top universities and colleges into low-income Title I high schools at scale, and at no cost to students.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Deliver and support college credit-bearing courses from top colleges and universities into low-income high school classrooms across the nation. Our unique structure of support and collaboration with classroom teachers, university professors, and university teaching fellows equips scholars to explore and excel in fields of study and career possibilities that would otherwise not be available to them. We enable scholars to advance and demonstrate their college capabilities and talents to college admissions offices, employers -- and themselves.

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 2024 to 2025, from $2.6M to $4.6M (+76%).
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.
60% of National Education Opportunity Network Inc’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (48% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 11 funders, grant income rose $565k → $2.2M.
14 of 38 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 28% 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 Education Opportunity Network Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 38 funders by total. 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 Education Opportunity Network Inc has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 16% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
47% 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 Education Opportunity Network Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 89% · 2021 49% · 2022 25% · 2023 22% — 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
50% of National Education Opportunity Network Inc's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 50% 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
National Education Opportunity Network Inc draws 68% of its grant income from funders outside New York, across 9 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.6M arriving through sponsors registered in 10 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.
