What Philadelphia School Advocacy Project does
Mission
Psap advocates to ensure that every student in pennsylvania has access to an excellent school. We advocate for equal access; stable, adequate and predictable funding; effective teachers and leaders; entrepreneurially enabled schools; and school-based accountability.
As stated on its FY2023 Form 990.
Program
Philadelphia school advocacy partners ("psap") promotes the social welfare of residents of pennsylvania by advocating for broader accesss to high- quality elementary and secondary education. Psap's ultimate goal is to dramatically increase the percentage of children in pennsylvania who are enrolled in good schools. To realize this goal, psap advocates for policy, regulatory, and resource conditions at both the state and local level that enhance high-achieving schools' ability to thrive and grow. Most of psap's day-to-day work is communications related. Psap develops policy recommendations through research and analysis and then endeavors to communicate those recommendations to key stakeholders such as publicly elected and appointed officials and to the general public.

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 2020 to 2021, from $93k to $63k (−33%).
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 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
0% of PHILADELPHIA SCHOOL ADVOCACY PROJECT’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (65% for the typical peer).
