Mission
ALTUS Liber Academy is a homeschool co-op. We provide educational classes for the children of 32 families. Our classes cover subjects like history, art, STEM, and writing. We serve children from birth to age 18, as well as their parents. We are a Leadership Education community that gathers together to participate in Scholar Projects and Junior School classes. We use Leadership Education to inspire our members with the vision, mentorship, support, and community they need to discover and live their missions. We meet once a week, 16 days per semester. We put on a Shakespeare play each spring for community members to enjoy. We offer support to parents in the form of weekly classes, biannual retreats, and various family-oriented activities.
Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

Who gave
Contributor names are not public for this form type.
Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.
Finances
Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Funders of this organization
1 grantor reported grants to this organization, $501 in all, tax years 2022 to 2023. Exact: the grantor wrote this organization's EIN. Fuzzy: the grantor wrote only a name (foundations' 990-PF has no EIN field), matched to the same or a near-identical name in the same state; the name as filed is shown. From the latest return for each grantor and year, so amended returns aren't counted twice. CSV

Where the money went
Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
