Mainspring Schools 2023 - 2024 Annual Report
This last year was an impactful one at Mainspring Schools, and we are excited to present our 2023-2024 Annual Report.
In our Annual Report, you’ll find information and updates about what makes Mainspring different, the five values we are focusing on, how we are nurturing brain health, impact stories, spotlights on some of our initiatives, and financials — along with some great pictures of our students, staff, and families!
We hope you enjoy reading about our school. This is a community effort and the work being done to help our kids and their families here in (and around) Austin couldn’t happen without you. Please feel free to share this with anyone who may be interested!
Special thanks to our Executive Director Colin Swanson for leading this project, with content and writing assistance from Abe Louise Young. Laurel Barickman, the Founder & Creative Director of Recspec, did the beautiful design.

Mainspring is a lean nonprofit that is changing young lives at the grassroots level and improving Austin’s future. It is a community effort supported by individuals, partners, grantors, and sponsors who believe that high-quality early childhood education and a two-generation approach to breaking cycles of poverty should be a priority in our society.
We are all stewards of this long-standing mission and the respected organization behind it. We believe in full transparency so that our community sees the work that happens at Mainspring and the status of the organization that they support through donations, volunteer service, advocacy, and encouragement. We are pleased to share our most recent annual report, auditor’s report, and IRS form 990.
