What The Boulder School does
Mission
Teachings in philosophy and religion.
As stated on its FY2019 Form 990-EZ.
Program
The Boulder School provides a curriculum of study of the urantia book that is both comprehensive and life-changing and is presented over 9 trimesters. During that time, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the urantia book including a broader and practical knowledge of the interface between these supernal teachings and evolutionary religion, philosophy, science and history. Students are challenged by faculty as well as fellow students to "dig deep and discover how one can live and apply the teachings in day to day life. The school currently offers its curriculum of study free of charge to participants and students.since the advent of the covid 19 pandemic, the school has become totally virtual with any and all classes, lectures, seminars, webinars, videos, which are accessed and available online. In addition, the school has also developed an app so that students can attend lectures, study and communicate together on their phones, tablets, and computers. Presently, the school has approximately 1,000 online participants/students.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.
Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2020: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $10k → $1k.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 91% 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 THE BOULDER 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
THE BOULDER SCHOOL leans on a few funders — its largest provides 91% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
91% 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 THE BOULDER SCHOOL.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 100% — broadly stable.
“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
91% of THE BOULDER 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. Of the $1k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Colorado, across 1 state.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10k 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.
