What Valor Preparatory Academy does
Mission
The mission of Valor Preparatory Academy is to partner with families to provide excellent education and develop passionate disciples of jesus, who are prepared to courageously influence culture for the glory of god.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
During the year, Valor Preparatory Academy received a donation of a building with a fair market value of $15,270,000. The building was donated to support the organization's mission of providing excellent education and developing passionate disciples of jesus, who are prepared to courageously influence culture for the glory of god by facilitating the remodeling and creation of a new school facility. To further this purpose, Valor Preparatory Academy transferred the building to its supporting organization, vpa, inc., which will ensure the property is developed and utilized in alignment with the academy's educational objectives and mission. Designated donations of $583,636 were also used by vpa towards the remodel of this building. In addition, vpa provided $40,000 of financial support back to Valor Preparatory Academy to assist with operations. This significant program activity was undertaken to expand the academy's capacity to serve students and enhance its educational offerings to the community.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2021 to 2022, from $2.1M to $3.5M (+68%).
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 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
81% of Valor Preparatory Academy’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 8 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 5 funders, grant income fell $200k → $72k.
6 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 38% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $40k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest VPA Properties Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money Valor Preparatory Academy raised.

How concentrated its funding is
Valor Preparatory Academy leans on a few funders — its largest provides 54% of grant income and the top three 78%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
38% 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 Valor Preparatory Academy.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 50% · 2019 87% · 2020 78% · 2021 50% · 2022 47% · 2023 41% — 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
60% of Valor Preparatory Academy's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 70% 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
100% of Valor Preparatory Academy's grant income comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $946k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
