What Broken Chains for Humanity Inc does
Mission
To provide free medical and dental services to hundreds of poor Mayans of Guatemala. Groups of volunteers go with us each year to provide these services. Our goal is to be able to provide free year-round medical and dental care in this area. One clinic is nearly finished so we should be able to start soon. We also provide nutritious food for malnourished families who are living in poverty.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Once or twice a year we have been providing free medical/dental and nutrition care to the poor Mayans who live in the mountains of Guatemala by sending doctors and nurses as volunteers and holding medical clinics for a week. We are building a medical clinic so we can provide these services year-round. We also provide Bible and Health Instruction for everyone including special programs for the children.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $80k to $184k (+131%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

2017 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $8k → $20.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 1% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of BROKEN CHAINS FOR HUMANITY INC’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.
How concentrated its funding is
BROKEN CHAINS FOR HUMANITY INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 99% 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 BROKEN CHAINS FOR HUMANITY INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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
BROKEN CHAINS FOR HUMANITY INC draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside California, across 1 state in all.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $109 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
