Programs
Our highest expense was compensating our teachers who train and teach the students and also partner with the students' co-teachers in the home classroom. This expense also compensates our administrators who carry out the mission of Oakwell Academy through a variety of tasks and responsibilities. Each teacher is required to create lesson plans to be used in the central classroom and to be continued in the home classroom. The lesson plans are then reviewed and approved by our curriculum administrator. This expense also covers the cost of the taxes we incur in order to pay our employees.
$760,598 spent84% of program spendingOur next highest expense is providing a facility that is used as our central classroom where students attend anywhere from 2-5 days per week depending on the child's grade level. We are currently renting a facility and this amount covers our cost for renting and using the facility throughout the school year and the summer season.
$40,000 spent4% of program spendingOur next highest expense was for our schools curriculum and classroom expenses. Our school purchases various curriculum and materials for all of our grades, PreK-10th grade. Each grade needs various items for each subject being taught. The varying curriculum needed expands and increases with each growing year. This expense also covers all of our elective and physical education classes.

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 2022 to 2023, from $968k to $696k (−28%).
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: 2020 0% · 2021 8% · 2022 0% · 2023 0% · 2024 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

2020 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $19 → $111.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 OAKWELL 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.
Where its funders are
100% of OAKWELL ACADEMY'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $380 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. 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.
