These are interesting times, and districts must create unique and creative ways to keep students in school. While the hart district enjoys an over 90% graduation rate, ensuring they have ongoing daily student attendance is more difficult. Therefore, wish has joined with the district and community partners in a program designed to encourage daily attendance by rewarding students who have perfect quarterly daily attendance. Ada (average daily attendance) numbers do not only provide schools with much needed education funding, but they lead to better socio-emotional and academic learning across the board for all students.

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 2021 to 2022, from $208k to $285k (+37%).
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: 2022 10% · 2023 6% · 2024 28% · 2025 5%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

3 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 13% 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: $25k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital). These are real filings, and they are not money WILLIAM S HART EDUCATION FOUNDATION WISH EDUCATION FOUNDATION raised.
From the IRS filings of WILLIAM S HART EDUCATION FOUNDATION WISH EDUCATION 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.

WILLIAM S HART EDUCATION FOUNDATION WISH EDUCATION FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 61% of grant income and the top three 76%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
26% 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 WILLIAM S HART EDUCATION FOUNDATION WISH EDUCATION FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 96% · 2018 98% · 2019 93% · 2020 82% · 2021 66% · 2022 52% · 2023 66% — 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.

25% of WILLIAM S HART EDUCATION FOUNDATION WISH EDUCATION FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 58% 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $21k 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.
