What PowerMyLearning Inc does
Mission
We design evidence-based programs, innovative tools, and professional learning that reveal how students think about mathematics, giving educators deeper insights that save time and improve instruction. For more than 25 years, PowerMyLearning has partnered with schools and districts across the country to strengthen math learning, particularly for multilingual learners and students from historically underserved communities. Our programs are backed by a robust evidence base, including statistically significant impact on math achievement for K-5 students.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
PowerMyLearning works hand-in-hand with educators to foster equitable learning environments that empower each student to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Over the past year, we provided professional learning and coaching to K-12 teachers and school leaders across multiple schools and districts, helping them strengthen their instructional practices in math. Our programs have led to improvements in student learning and teacher practices. We continue to prioritize working in historically marginalized communities, ensuring that educators and students receive the support they need to succeed. Additionally, we are expanding efforts to support schools and districts in implementing high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) in math to improve student outcomes, particularly for underserved districts, schools and students.

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 2022 to 2023, from $8.3M to $5.9M (−29%).
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: 2017 3% · 2018 6% · 2019 6% · 2020 6% · 2021 21% · 2022 24% · 2023 16% · 2024 21% · 2025 15%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
85% of PowerMyLearning Inc’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (67% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 26 funders to 28 funders, grant income rose $1.7M → $2.7M.
19 of 88 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 9% 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 PowerMyLearning Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 88 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
PowerMyLearning 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
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 36% · 2018 25% · 2019 33% · 2020 20% · 2021 23% · 2022 34% · 2023 36% — 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.
How long its funders stay
42% of PowerMyLearning Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 64% 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
PowerMyLearning Inc draws 65% of its grant income from funders outside New York, across 18 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.3M arriving through sponsors registered in 15 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
PowerMyLearning Inc's funding base is broadening — from 26 funders to 28 as grant income climbed.
