What Open Doors Inc does
Mission
Open doors academy (oda) provides year-round out-of-school time academic and enrichment programs to youth living in underserved communities. Oda is based in cleveland, ohio and operates programs in northeast and northwest ohio. Oda protects, inspires, nurtures and challenges youth to reach their full potential. To accomplish this mission, the oda team engages youth and their families, builds partnerships within the community, provides a continuum of programming starting in kindergarten through a full year after high school graduation, and forges trusted relationships.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The k-8 program (1,254 served in fy25) - this program includes mentoring, homework help, service learning, workforce development, and enrichment programming delivered mostly in the afterschool setting. This program addresses developmental barriers that inhibit the learning process, provides youth with a safe environment to explore new interests, and opens doors to opportunities that otherwise might not be available. Youth in this program develop academic skills, receive tutoring, complete homework, and build friendships. The program also incorporates project-based learning experiences, team-building exercises, mindfulness practice, and field trips. Participation in our program leads to improved math grades. In the 2022-23 school year, the more time a scholar spent in our program, the greater the improvement in his or her math grade from the fall to the spring. A study with one of our district partners where oda operates four programs showed that our program keeps kids in school. The study found that enrollment in oda's afterschool programming reduced the likelihood of in-year attrition by 57%.
$4,105,294 spent$538,598 earned by the program61% of program spendingThe high school plus program (218 served in fy25) - this career and college readiness program includes comprehensive educational support, mentoring, workforce development, financial literacy, service learning, and enrichment programming delivered mostly in an afterschool setting. The curriculum for workforce development includes career assessments, resume and cover letter writing, along with mock interviews. In addition, students are connected to job shadowing and other work-based experiences during every year of high school and during the first year after high school graduation. Students are exposed to potential career paths through field trips and career panels. Students also visit college campuses throughout the state of ohio, along with one national trip to expose scholars to potential college opportunities. Since 2018, 97% of students in oda's high school plus program who have participated for two or more years have graduated from high school, and 85% have enrolled in a postsecondary career or college option immediately after graduation.
$942,198 spent14% of program spendingThe summer program (733 served in fy25) - this program is a critical component of our continuum of programming. The program consists of summer camps, paid internships for high school scholars, family programming, service-learning, and travel. Oda operates a k-8 summer camp and a high school summer camp, each for approximately eight weeks at no cost to families. Summer camp incorporates literacy and math enrichment, arts and culture, stem (science, technology, engineering, and math), health and wellness, and leadership development. Scholars engage in service-learning to build the connection between classroom and real-life and to cultivate empathy, collaboration, and critical thinking skills. Our service-learning opportunities vary annually and have included a three day trip to bowling green, ohio, where scholars engage with the local community in different service opportunities. When they return home, they share their experiences with greater cleveland community partners.
$1,076,798 spent$438,857 earned by the program16% of program spendingAdditional programs include: family engagement program (3,252 served in fy25) - this program helps parents and caregivers navigate both (1) the developmental milestones of children ages five through adolescence and how they can support along that continuum, and (2) ways in which parents can support their children throughout the k-16 educational system and beyond. This two-generation approach is central to oda's work because family engagement is vital to the academic success of children. Oda offers monthly workshops as part of its "family partnership series" to help parents develop skills and access resources which allow them to maintain a healthy and stable home life. Workshops provide strategies on how parents can help their children develop socially and academically to achieve their dreams. There are also financial literacy workshops which teach families strategies they can use to plan for the cost of their children's postsecondary education. Oda also hosts at least four family engagement events throughout the year to build relationships and network families to one another and community and school resources. Oda's family advisory council (fac) is the vehicle oda uses to design…

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 2020 to 2021, from $679k to $2.4M (+260%).
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.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 15 funders to 27 funders, grant income rose $385k → $481k.
12 of 74 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 20% 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 OPEN DOORS INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 74 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
OPEN DOORS INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 19% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
37% 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 OPEN DOORS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 26% · 2018 21% · 2019 34% · 2020 40% · 2021 45% · 2022 27% · 2023 23% — 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
39% of OPEN DOORS INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 54% 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
86% of OPEN DOORS INC's grant income comes from Ohio funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.0M arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
