In its most recent IRS Form 990 filing filing for tax year 2024, the organization reported $5,314,890 in total revenue, including $301,483 in contributions—entirely from government grants across federal, state, or local sources—making up 5.7% of its revenue.
At the beginning of 2024, Illinois Association of School Administrators had $12,012,800 in assets. By the end of 2024, that figure had changed to $13,388,700, indicating an 11.5% growth in overall holdings.
According to its filing, public funding to Illinois Association of School Administrators declined in the last year, falling from $378,667 in 2023 to $301,483 in 2024—a decrease of 20.4% year-over-year.
However, a Chicago City Wire analysis found that IRS filings frequently contain discrepancies when compared with publicly disclosed government grant reports and budgets.
Illinois Association of School Administrators is one of hundreds of nonprofits across Illinois that receive substantial support from state taxpayers while also fundraising privately.
In 2025, Illinois lawmakers introduced House Bill 1266, also known as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Act. The proposal would create a new oversight body within the Office of the Auditor General tasked with identifying cost-saving measures, reviewing agency performance, and advising on audit priorities. If passed, DOGE could bring additional scrutiny and performance evaluation to taxpayer-funded organizations.
According to ProPublica, Illinois has more than 78,000 active tax-exempt organizations, including nearly 60,000 classified as charitable nonprofits. In their most recent IRS filings, these groups reported a combined revenue exceeding $156 billion.
