What The Initiative a Vermont Waldorf High School does
Mission
To create, nurture, and maintain a healthy, thriving and affordable secondary education program out of an anthroposophically based picture of the threefold human being (body, soul, and spirit) that will serve interested families and their high school students in the central vermont area.
As stated on its FY2019 Form 990-EZ.
Program
The Initiative cultivates each student's capacity for lively independent thinking, artistic interpretation, and moral courage for responsible action. At our school, students discover who they are and develop the capacity for living fully into the future as it unfolds for them. At the Initiative, our curriculum integrates the disciplines of science, math, technology, humanities, movement, fine arts, and practical arts. Through the development of these capacities, we strive to educate the whole human being in a healthy and balanced manner. We seek to practice the principles of Waldorf education suitable for Vermont; a changing socio economic environment; and an evolving world. Our vision is to develop thoughtful, fulfilled citizens who have the capacity to think imaginatively, communicate effectively, relate compassionately, and take initiative to effect healthy change in our world.

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 2017 to 2018, from $33k to $17k (−50%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 2 reported years ran a deficit.
