01What it does

What Ashraya Initiative for Children does

Mission

Children & Youth Services, Community Outreach in India. The Ashraya Initiative for Children is dedicated to improving the lives and shaping the futures of vulnerable children in Pune, India by advancing educational opportunities, nurturing holistic development and building healthy, empowered communities. The organization runs various programs to the benefit of slum and street children and their families in Pune, India.

As stated on its FY2019 Form 990-EZ.

Program

The Ashraya Initiative for Children (AIC) Education Outreach Program provides daily material, emotional and, primarily, educational support to young slum and street children ages 3 to 17 from our vicinity, who show the most pressing needs. They are selected on a case-by-case basis through fieldwork. The children receive financial support for school fees, as well as tutoring at our Education Outreach Center. In addition, we provide meals, medical aid, clothing, shoes and transportation to and from schools, counseling and other services to the children and their families.

The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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.

From the IRS filings of ASHRAYA INITIATIVE FOR CHILDREN’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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.

ASHRAYA INITIATIVE FOR CHILDREN leans on a few funders — its largest provides 43% of grant income and the top three 97%; half comes from just 2 funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left

61% 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 ASHRAYA INITIATIVE FOR CHILDREN.

North Carolina out of state home

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $18k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
