What Sagebrush Elementary School does
Mission
Our mission is to provide children ages 3-12 with a traditional montessori education in a warm and nurturing environment where we celebrate each child as an individual and embrace religious and cultural differences.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
We provided 98 children ages 3-12 with a traditional montessori education in a warm and nurturing environment where each child was celebrated as an individual and where religious and cultural differences were embraced. Through the years since Sagebrush Elementary School's inception, both Sagebrush Elementary School and sagebrush montessori thrived and grew together as a community. In the fall of 2018, Sagebrush Elementary School aquired sagebrush montessori, a privately-owned school with authentic montessori preschool and kindergarten programs and merged into a single non-profit organization now collectively known as sagebrush montessori. Acquisition of sagebrush montessori was finalized in spring 2019.during the fiscal year 2023-2024, sagebrush montessori offered two programs: 1. Children's house classrooms; designed for children ages 3-6 with a half-day program for preschoolers and a full-day program for kindergartners.2. Elementary program classrooms which provide traditional montessori education for children ages 6-12.

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 2024 to 2025, from $840k to $905k (+8%).
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: 2020 12% · 2021 5% · 2022 13% · 2023 6% · 2024 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
4% of SAGEBRUSH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (57% for the typical peer).

1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 SAGEBRUSH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL’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.
Where its funders are
100% of SAGEBRUSH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $867 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.
