01What it does

What Soundview School does

Mission

Soundview School (the school) centers the student experience on the knowledge, compassion, and ethics that lay the foundation for citizenship and leadership. Our students learn at a conceptual level across all disciplines, and they use this knowledge to engage with issues that matter in our world. They practice service, empathy, and respect to make the lives of other people better. Our school is guided by fairness and justice, in our curriculum and community. We value diversity and safety, and we're focused on whole people and families.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Program

  1. Our mission guides every decision and action at the school. It differentiates us and shapes the excellence of our programs. Our students build habits and mindsets based on the elements of our mission. They learn social responsibility and the competencies of citizenship and leadership. Througout their lives, our students continue to live our mission as they serve their communities into the future. We are also guided by our mission when planning and executing after-school activities and our summer camp programs.

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.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2018 → 2023: the base held at 3 funders, grant income fell $556k → $207k.

8 of 8 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 SOUNDVIEW 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.

How concentrated its funding is

SOUNDVIEW SCHOOL leans on a few funders — its largest provides 70% of grant income and the top three 96%; half comes from just 1 funder.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

100% 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 SOUNDVIEW SCHOOL.

Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 81% · 2019 63% · 2020 85% · 2021 72% · 2022 47% · 2023 73% — 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 SOUNDVIEW SCHOOL's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 75% give in more than one year at all.

first grant+1y+2y+3y

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

100% of SOUNDVIEW 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. $3.3M 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.
