What The Kindezi School Inc does
Mission
Our mission is to create a nurturing, empowering, parent-integrated, safe classroom environment conducive to optimal growth and self-realization. Through tutorial, differentiation, and student-centered approaches to learning, we will develop the leader, artist and scholar in all students.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The kindezi school (the "school") is responsible for the public education of all students attending its school. The school was created through a contract (charter) between atlanta public schools and the school whereby all state funding associated with the students attending the school and certain specified local funds are turned over to the school to cover the cost of its operations. The kindezi school has three locations in atlanta, ga serving different grade bands: west (k-8), old fourth ward (k-8); and gideons (prek-5).

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.
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 $18M to $27M (+51%).
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: 2017 78% · 2018 93% · 2019 94% · 2020 98% · 2021 95% · 2022 97% · 2023 94% · 2024 98% · 2025 97%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of The Kindezi School Inc’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (23% for the typical peer).

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

How long its funders stay
36% of The Kindezi School Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 63% 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
97% of The Kindezi School Inc's grant income comes from Georgia funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $93k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
