What Silicon Valley Academy Project does
Mission
Silicon Valley Academy's mission is to empower students to meet their highest potential, nurture their social-emotional growth, and foster their commitment to serve society. As a full-time pre-kindergarten through 8th grade school, Silicon Valley Academy provides a high-quality elementary and secondary education to local youth by offering standards-based, culturally relevant curriculum, professional development opportunities for teachers and staff, and community outreach programs. Additionally, Silicon Valley Academy proudly serves a socio-economically diverse student body offering tuition assistance and scholarships to students in need.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Silicon Valley Academy?s vision is to develop children?s love of learning, so they become lifelong learners and consciousness contributing members of society. Our current programs have implemented the GLAD Model Guided Language Acquisition Design to help our vision become a reality in the daily lives of our students. During the 2023 academic year, SVA is proud to have sponsored the education of over 10 socially disadvantaged children. SVA was able to partner with different organizations, such as Rahima Foundation, to help in the support of the socially disadvantaged at our school. SVA?s student population grew by about 20. As a result, we hired additional staff members to continue to offer support, scaffolding, and guidance to our students, including those who struggle. Furthermore, SVA implemented a new makerspace curriculum for our KG-8th grade students. Lastly, SVA expanded its after school clubs and athletic leagues.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2021 to 2022, from $1.2M to $1.4M (+18%).
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.
7% of SILICON VALLEY ACADEMY PROJECT’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (48% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 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
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 6 funders, grant income rose $20k → $92k.
7 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 92% 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 SILICON VALLEY ACADEMY PROJECT’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
SILICON VALLEY ACADEMY PROJECT leans on a few funders — its largest provides 32% of grant income and the top three 78%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
94% 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 SILICON VALLEY ACADEMY PROJECT.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 50% · 2020 58% · 2021 73% · 2022 76% · 2023 38% — 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.
How long its funders stay
60% of SILICON VALLEY ACADEMY PROJECT's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 70% 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
92% of SILICON VALLEY ACADEMY PROJECT'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. Of the $39k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $476k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
