What Raze Development does
Mission
Raze Early Learning and Development Center demolishes the divisive and traumatic current narrative of the black student in education. Raze Early Learning and Development Center prioritizes family engagement and partnership by first acknowledging the parent as the cornerstone teacher. Secondly, by addressing Maslow's Hierarchy of needs-through community partnership and resources we ensure that our students are in optimal positions to reach their full potential. Through onsite culturally based mental and behavioral health supports we address the mental health disparities that students living in historically marginalized communities face. We provide culturally immersive, individualized curriculum and instruction that validates and affirms black culture. We employ culturally responsive teaching strategies that create psychologically safe environments, fosters understanding of differences, establishes self-worth and builds self-esteem, as well as create attainable high standards for our stu

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 $1.4M to $2.3M (+64%).
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: 2024 75%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of Raze Development’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (57% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $25k → $627k.
2 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 19% 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 Raze Development’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
Raze Development leans on a few funders — its largest provides 57% of grant income and the top three 88%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
43% 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 Raze Development.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 100% · 2022 47% · 2023 72% — diversifying over time.
“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 Raze Development's grant income comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $174k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
