What The Charles Sposato Graduate School of Education Inc does
Mission
To provide education and training for teachers planning to work in high poverty schools and to grant masters of effective teaching degrees.
As stated on its FY2023 Form 990.
Program
On its FY2022 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
As of june 30, 2023, the graduate school has discontinued its operations and transferred all remaining assets to match foundation, inc. As part of a merger.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Due to the organization's focused mission, there is only one program. Because it ceased operations on june 30, 2023, during the 2022-23 school year the organization served only second-year students in its two-year graduate degree program. At the beginning of the year 20 individuals were enrolled in the organization's teacher training program, all of whom were in year two of the program working to earn their masters in effective teaching degree. Ultimately 18 of them completed the necessary coursework, while working as first- or second-year teachers in urban schools across the united states, and in so doing completed the program's requirements and earned the aforementioned degree, which was bestowed in june 2023. Upon its june 30, 2023, closure all assets of the organization were merged with those of the match foundation, inc.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $1.4M to $0 (−100%).
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: 2021 13%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year

1 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 3% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

98% 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.
