What Prospect Academy of Colorado does
Mission
Provide a safe, clam and inclusive learning environment that educates students with behavioral and leanring challenges.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The school is founded on the belief that all students, including those who learn differently, can reach their potential with the right programming and support. It serves a full range of learners, including general education students, and specializes in supporting students with level 1 and 2 autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and similar learning profiles, as well as struggling learners without a diagnosis who have not thrived in traditional school settings. The school maintains that a diagnosis does not preclude students from engaging in college-track academics. Social-emotional learning and support are cornerstones of the school and are seamlessly integrated into all aspects of its program.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 $49k to $10M (+20612%).
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: 2022 56% · 2023 57% · 2024 29% · 2025 36%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
44% of Prospect Academy of Colorado’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (48% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income rose $22k → $117k.
2 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 6% 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 Prospect Academy of Colorado’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
Prospect Academy of Colorado leans on a few funders — its largest provides 40% of grant income and the top three 77%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
83% 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 Prospect Academy of Colorado.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 73% · 2021 76% · 2022 37% · 2023 85% — growing more concentrated.
“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
100% of Prospect Academy of Colorado's grant income comes from Colorado funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $56k 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.
