What Agape Pamoja Inc does
Mission
The purpose of Agape Pamoja is to help serve the multi-faceted needs of refugees from war-torn countries residing in Kansas City by providing housing assistance, educational support, food, clothing, life skills, community involvement, leadership development and other needs while intentionally doing life together.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Providing affordable housing in Kansas City for refugee families is one of Agape Pamoja's missions, which is done through Blessing Houses. On average, families save $1,000 per month in rent and utilities, and Blessing Houses are furnished with all the basics families need. Most Blessing Houses experience a renovation time before families move in, providing the opportunity for Americans and refugees to do renovations together on homes. These are key times to better understanding one another's cultures, working together for a common goal, and learning basic skill sets. While it's easy to think that moving a family into a Blessing House is our end goal, it is actually just the beginning of an open door to do life together with many of the families. As of December 2024, Agape Pamoja has 25 refugee families residing in 20 Blessing Houses. One of these is a multi-family unit (apartments). This equates to over 175 individuals from the African refugee community living in a Blessing House. Agape Pamoja has 3 more units to renovate and move families into during 2024. More than 500 volunteers came together donating over 8,000 hours to renovate, furnish & maintain these homes.
$424,891 spent$193,333 earned by the program77% of program spendingHelping students develop leadership skills is a key initiative for Agape Pamoja, and is accomplished through the Student Leaders Program. Qualifying middle and high school students for the refugee community commit to this special program that assists them with education, college prep, leadership growth, house renovation skills, driving lessons and support, and travel opportunities. Students that are a part of this program meet criteria to qualify and maintain their Student Leadership status. They are often academic forerunners in school as well as leaders for their sports team, as well as in their community. Students gain skills and run with opportunities to help them lead others well. The idea that "serving is a lifestyle, not an event" is practiced. While it is a requirement for students in this program to serve at least once a month with Agape Pamoja, most students serve with Agape Pamoja numerous times each week. As of December 2024, 17 students from 12 different families are enrolled in the Student Leader program with 500+ volunteer hours being given annually to make this program a success.
$99,819 spent18% of program spendingAgape Pamoja is in the city most days of the week living life with and supporting the refugee community from many different avenues. We regularly meet practical needs such as providing food and clothing, assisting with cell phones and phone plans and coordinating to make sure each student has school supplies. We also invest in the growth & development of the refugee youth through special events strategically planned throughout the year. These include Gal's Bible Studies, Guy's Bible Studies, Galentine's Parties, Super Bowl Parties, special trips (Guatemala, San Diego, Colorado, Kentucky, and more), church camps, weekly Summer Socials, Student Leader Trainings, Christmas activities and New Year's Eve parties. Finally, Agape Pamoja hosts other fun activities like roller skating, theme parks, driving lessons, movie watching, swimming, sleepovers, supporting classmate's sporting events, and more. These events are open to the African refugee community as a whole with over 350 individuals benefitting from these activities.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2020 to 2021, from $1.4M to $2.0M (+47%).
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.
52% of AGAPE PAMOJA INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 6 funders, grant income rose $10k → $73k.
5 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 22% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
AGAPE PAMOJA INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 44% of grant income and the top three 88%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
28% 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 AGAPE PAMOJA INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 90% · 2020 100% · 2021 78% · 2022 53% · 2023 55% — 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.
How long its funders stay
50% of AGAPE PAMOJA INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% 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. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
AGAPE PAMOJA INC draws 99% of its grant income from funders outside Missouri, across 5 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $138k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
Against its field
AGAPE PAMOJA INC's funding base is broadening — from 1 funders to 6 as grant income climbed.
