What Angels for Brazil & Africa does
Mission
Angels for Brazil & Africa is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to advancing socioeconomic development in underserved communities across Brazil and Africa, particularly in rural and remote areas. The organization provides grants to vetted local partners-primarily schools and rural clinics-to support initiatives in education, clean water access, healthcare, and women's economic empowerment through vocational training and microenterprise programs. The organization serves beneficiaries based solely on financial need, prioritizing highly impoverished and isolated populations. It operates with a 100% volunteer Board of Directors and leverages local partnerships to maintain low operating costs, ensuring that the majority of funds directly support program activities. Through this locally driven approach, the organization promotes sustainable development and long-term community resilience.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
"WATER & SANITATION Grant Amount: $45,765 Direct Beneficiaries: 10,917 individuals (Year 1) Estimated Useful Life of Assets: 20 years The program provided immediate access to safe water and sanitation for 10,917 children and teachers in the first year through the installation of water storage tanks, construction and rehabilitation of wells, and implementation of water filtration systems across underserved schools and communities. In addition, hygiene conditions were improved through the installation of handwashing stations and integration of basic sanitation infrastructure. Based on an estimated 20-year useful life of installed infrastructure, the program is projected to reach over 200,000 cumulative beneficiary uses over time (10,917 individuals annually), significantly expanding long-term impact. The program is designed to ensure reliable, year-round access to clean water in low-resource settings, contributing to measurable reductions in waterborne disease risk and decreasing time spent collecting water. These improvements support increased school attendance and instructional time, particularly benefiting children.

Sanitation systems were upgraded to meet basic health and hygiene standards across underserved schools. These improvements provided immediate benefit to 4,461 children in the first year by increasing access to safe learning spaces and adequate sanitation. Based on an estimated 20-year useful life of infrastructure investments, the program is expected to generate over 89,000 cumulative beneficiary uses over time. The program supports increased school capacity to accommodate growing student populations and contributes to improved attendance and learning conditions. Additionally, the infrastructure model establishes replicable standards for school development in low-resource settings.
$251 spentof which $27,309 as grants31% of program spendingWOMEN EMPOWERMENT Grant Amount: $15,122 Direct Beneficiaries: 64 individuals (Year 1) The program provided targeted support to 64 women in the first year through a combination of micro-loans and vocational skills training. Funded initiatives included small-scale income-generating activities (such as poultry farming and retail businesses) and sewing skills training for women, including those who have left formal education. These interventions enabled participants to initiate or expand sustainable livelihoods, increasing their capacity to generate income and meet basic household needs. The program also supported access to menstrual health resources and practical skills that contribute to personal dignity and economic participation. Over time, the program is designed to promote financial independence, improved well-being, and increased economic resilience among participants. By strengthening women's income-generating capacity and skills, the initiative contributes to enhanced household stability and supports the broader role of women as economic contributors within their communities.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2023 to 2024, from $45k to $99k (+120%).
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.
100% of ANGELS FOR BRAZIL & AFRICA’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $5k → $27k.
4 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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
ANGELS FOR BRAZIL & AFRICA leans on a few funders — its largest provides 76% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 ANGELS FOR BRAZIL & AFRICA.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 72% — 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.
Where its funders are
100% of ANGELS FOR BRAZIL & AFRICA's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $186k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
