Since its founding in 1994, AIA has been able to create, grow and sustain its three core programs, as well as launch several other initiatives into independent organizations. During that time, AIA has expanded its sources of financial support from solely foundation grants to include programs fees (HOME Sweet HOME preschool), state and federal education funding (Bay Area School of Enterprise), contributions from program site partners (HOME Project) and an annual donor campaign. Our goal for financial sustainability is to grow these other sources and reduce our reliance on foundations for general operating funds. We project that HOME Project, our after-school program, will continue to rely heavily on foundation sources, but the other two programs will be primarily supported by revenues generated by their enrollment. Grants and donations will fund program quality improvements, expansion, research and new initiatives.

In 2005-2006, our distribution of funding sources is:



By 2007-2008, we hope to have a distribution more like this:
