What The Lovett School Inc does
Mission
The lovett school is a community of belonging that develops students of honor, faith, and wisdom with the character and intellect to thrive in learning and life.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The lovett school was founded in 1926 by eva edwards lovett and retains her emphasis on the development of the whole child. Lovett believes that it is the school's responsibility to develop the fundamental skills, a love of learning, and the application of good judgement to what is learned. Distinctive features of the curriculum include experiential education and interdisciplinary studies. Comprehensive fine arts programs are offered in each school division and a full athletic program provides each student an opportunity to experience the value of team effort and sportsmanship. Students participate in a variety of community service activities, and nondenominational chapel services are held weekly in all school divisions. Lovett seeks students from all ethnic, cultural, racial, and religious backgrounds who can benefit from a challenging academic program. The student body is approximately 1,640.

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 2023 to 2024, from $250M to $308M (+23%).
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.
25% of THE LOVETT SCHOOL INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (23% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 48 funders to 66 funders, grant income rose $1.4M → $1.8M.
24 of 143 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 29% 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 LOVETT SCHOOL INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 143 funders by total. 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 LOVETT SCHOOL INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 23% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
30% 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 LOVETT SCHOOL INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 24% · 2018 33% · 2019 19% · 2020 12% · 2021 17% · 2022 13% · 2023 17% — 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
58% of THE LOVETT SCHOOL INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 72% 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
93% of THE LOVETT 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. $8.5M arriving through sponsors registered in 13 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.
