What Potential Inc does
Mission
Potential engages children and adults with autism in personalized programs that help them realize their full potential.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Adult services: we provide community support, systematic skill building, and behavior support services for adult clients through pennsylvania's adult autism waiver (aaw). This enables clients to safely integrate into the community while maintaining dignity and experience a variety of person-centered enrichment opportunities. This has ranged from supporting client's success in music and arts education, volunteer work, and other socially meaningful interactions. When clients need new skills or behavior support, we work with the family and the individual to assess the problem and come up with targeted solutions and then provide the follow-up needed to ensure success and satisfaction. This allows us to expand the opportunities for clients to find employment and help match them with potential employers. We provide the coaching and support to help them realize their goals, personally, and professionally.
$517,255 spent$372,489 earned by the program9% of program spendingSpringtime school: the springtime school is available to serve individuals with autism spectrum disorders from 5-21 in a year round setting. Using the principles of behavior analysis, teachers and staff design and implement individualized education plans while collaborating with families and students to determine the most appropriate means of support. This includes opportunities to integrate into the community, working on independent living and leisure while still maintaining an academic focus. We don't just teach kids how to do math, we teach them how to functionally apply the skills to enable them to live a more independent and robust life. We make sure to target skills for generalization to the home and community settings. Springtime school provides a place where students, who've struggled to be successful in public settings, can flourish.
$2,482,046 spent$2,880,608 earned by the program41% of program spendingIbhs services: we provide services from the onset of a child's diagnosis of autism through the age of 21 through commercially available health insurance plans, pa medical assistance, and private pay. This involves coordinating care with other providers, incorporating parents as partners in the process, and working individually with clients to provide medically necessary services including behavior therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy. These services are designed to help address the core deficits of autism and include the most up to date assessments, progress monitoring, and treatment evaluation and planning. We have worked hard to be able to offer this service to clients from low socioeconomic status as well as doing our part to help reduce the financial hardship of autism by accepting medical assistance.

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 $744k to $1.5M (+102%).
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.
0% of POTENTIAL INC’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 8 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 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $10k → $82k.
2 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 2% 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 POTENTIAL INC’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.
How concentrated its funding is
POTENTIAL INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 62% of grant income and the top three 92%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
70% 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 POTENTIAL INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 91% · 2019 75% · 2020 98% · 2021 39% · 2022 79% · 2023 98% — broadly stable.
“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.
Where its funders are
94% of POTENTIAL INC's grant income comes from Pennsylvania funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $7k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
Against its field
