What North Raleigh Christian Academy Inc does
Mission
Nrca is a community christian school assisting families in providing excellence in academics, fine arts, and athletics while instilling biblical principles in students' lives that they might impact their society for christ.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Nrca is a learning institution for those seeking a christ-centered place of excellence in academics, fine arts and athletics. The loving and caring environment nurtures students in spiritual and academic disciplines so they can launch into adult life equipped with godly character, academic preparedness and life skills. Our expected student outcomes of spiritual formation, worldview orientation, academic thinking, and skills development are integrated to fulfill the spiritual and academic goals of nrca. Our mission is not only to teach students how to make a living (academic thinking and skills development) but how to make a life (spiritual formation and worldview orientation). In addition to academics, students participate in athletics, fine arts (art, choir, dance, drama, band), social activities and aftercare.

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. 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 $52M to $55M (+5%).
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 10% · 2022 2% · 2023 3% · 2024 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
2% of NORTH RALEIGH CHRISTIAN ACADEMY INC’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (23% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 9 funders, grant income rose $26k → $78k.

From the IRS filings of NORTH RALEIGH CHRISTIAN ACADEMY INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 20 of 21 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
NORTH RALEIGH CHRISTIAN ACADEMY INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 18% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
64% 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 NORTH RALEIGH CHRISTIAN ACADEMY INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 41% · 2018 37% · 2019 41% · 2020 63% · 2021 31% · 2022 23% · 2023 62% — growing more concentrated.
“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
25% of NORTH RALEIGH CHRISTIAN ACADEMY INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 67% 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
54% of NORTH RALEIGH CHRISTIAN ACADEMY 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 $188k that is directly attributable, 71% of it comes from funders outside North Carolina, across 8 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $223k arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
