Programs
School Fund - Contributions and earnings generated from investments within this fund are used to partner with Trinity Lutheran School providing assistance to school families wishing to send their children to the school but lack the financial means to afford full tuition. An independent organization analyzes applications for tuition assistance from both current and prospective school families. Needs-based assistance is provided to approved families through the school's Grant-in-Aid Program. Grants provided by the Foundation fill a portion of the tuition affordability gap for families that apply for and are approved for financial assistance through this program. Additionally, Foundation grants provide for the addition, modernization and replacement of technology, equipment and facilities needed by the school to maintain a state-of-the-art learning environment. Past funding has also provided for teacher training and parent workshops that sharpen parental skills that augment partnering with school faculty to help children develop into better students and responsible young Christians.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2024 to 2025, from $2.6M to $3.0M (+12%).
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.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $3k → $7k.
3 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 58% 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 TRINITY ROSELLE FOUNDATION’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
TRINITY ROSELLE FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 50% of grant income and the top three 94%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
63% 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 TRINITY ROSELLE FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 75% · 2020 57% · 2021 99% · 2022 98% · 2023 99% — 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
58% of TRINITY ROSELLE FOUNDATION'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 $50k that is directly attributable, 88% of it comes from Illinois funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $70k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
