What Bridge of Hope Africa Ministries does
Mission
Provide Ugandan children in desperate need with access to education, health care, and Christian discipleship to develop their unique potential of becoming future change agents for their society.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Support of the Uganda office has enabled the direct tangible support of children and their families. This expense covers community development, discipleship, and related supplies. Many of our Ugandan staff are former sponsored children who personally experienced the life-transforming effects of being assisted out of poverty. They understand firsthand the needs of the communities we serve and are passionate about finding solutions to poverty. Each day, staff interact with families and provide support in the form of social work. They provide regular home visits and phone calls to check on families and offer tangible, emotional, and spiritual support. Community development training works to teach and enhance skills for families in our program, including training on: parenting, hygiene/sanitation, family planning, etc.

It also includes periodic skills training and life coaching for students and parents as well as home visits and check-ins by sponsorship coordinators. Medical and dental coverage is also offered at nearby clinics and hospitals, as well as access to mental health services such as group and one-on-counseling sessions for all children in the program. Bible Club sessions and yearly youth camps offer mentorship and fun-filled activities with their peers.
$182,859 spentof which $182,859 as grants$286,920 earned by the program40% of program spendingChild gifts provided by US-based donors are wired directly to the office in Uganda. These child gift donations allow staff to purchase food and critical supplies for sponsored children and for the families of sponsored children. Many families lack the basic, everyday necessities to allow them to fully function and to be lifted out of poverty. Providing such basics as a mattress, a food package, a hygiene kit, or solar panel is a tangible and substantial way to help families in need. A vast majority of families in BOHAMs program lack proper bedding and most sponsored children go without food during school breaks. Thankfully, child gifts are one way that sponsors and ministry partners can give above and beyond to sponsored children within the program. In 2025, over 150 children were impacted by child gifts. A total of 1,433 gifts were provided from donors, totaling $97,785 in donations.

The organization over time
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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $77k to $41k (−46%).
How it's funded, over time

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $9k → $50k.
3 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 96% 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
Bridge of Hope Africa Ministries leans on a few funders — its largest provides 75% of grant income and the top three 99%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
96% 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 Bridge of Hope Africa Ministries.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2020 82% · 2021 98% · 2022 99% · 2023 70% — 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
96% of Bridge of Hope Africa Ministries'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. Of the $8k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Oregon, across 1 state.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $177k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
