What Piloted Schools of Indiana Inc does
Mission
Piloted schools is an elementary charter school focused on empowering students in the way they seem themselves through a model of social identity development, civic engagement, and academic excellence.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The charter was effective through june 30, 2025, at which time the school established plans to dissolve the legal entity piloted schools of indiana, inc. D/b/a bethel park elementary. The school served approximately 225 students in kindergarten through sixth grade during the 2024-2025 school year (215 students during the 2023-2024 school year). The school closed effectively at the end of the 2024-2025 school year as liquidation was deemed imminent by management. The dissolution procedures outlined in the school's articles of incorporation require the transfer of any remaining assets to another nonprofit organization selected by the board of directors and organized with a similar purpose as the school.

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 2021 to 2022, from $3.4M to $2.8M (−17%).
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: 2019 85% · 2021 99% · 2022 94% · 2023 99% · 2024 94% · 2025 93%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
93% of PILOTED SCHOOLS OF INDIANA INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (48% for the typical peer).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
96% 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 PILOTED SCHOOLS OF INDIANA INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 70% · 2020 83% · 2021 58% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $295k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
