What Cameroon Health and Education Fund does
Mission
The primary exempt purpose of the cameroon health & education fund is to improve the health and education of underserved communities in cameroon, west africa. Cameroons long-standing violence has left 4.7 million cameroonians in need of humanitarian assistance. The cameroon health & education fund (chef) is an all volunteer, nonprofit, apolitical charitable organization.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
In 2024 chef supported a number of programs administered by the cameroon baptist convention health services (cbchs) which provide medical and humanitarian assistance as well as providing medical equipment and supplies to improve medical facilities. Cbchs provides "fee for service" care to all patients who need it, but often patients are not able to pay these low fees because of poverty. There is no government support for the cost of health care and no insurance coverage. Chef funds subsidize the cost of care that saves many lives and prevents or corrects serious disabling conditions. Programs: women's health program to support cervical cancer screening & treatment. Advanced life support in obstetrics (also) training to reduce maternal mortality. Support the internal medicine and surgery residency training of african physicians at mbingo baptist hospital. Cbchs supports the following: 1. Dr brown benevolent fund at cbchs/mbingo baptist hospital (mbh), the dr alexander baba guan-nulla benovolent fund at banso baptist hospital (bbh), and the meskine baptist hospital indigent patient fund: these funds provide financial assistance for people who are unable to afford urgently needed…

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 2017 to 2018, from $52k to $116k (+124%).
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 CAMEROON HEALTH AND EDUCATION FUND’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (87% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 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
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income fell $65k → $32k.
6 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 97% 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
CAMEROON HEALTH AND EDUCATION FUND leans on a few funders — its largest provides 48% of grant income and the top three 84%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders 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 CAMEROON HEALTH AND EDUCATION FUND.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 77% · 2018 100% · 2019 88% · 2020 69% · 2021 46% · 2022 56% · 2023 53% — 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 CAMEROON HEALTH AND EDUCATION FUND's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 63% 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
97% of CAMEROON HEALTH AND EDUCATION FUND'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 $16k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside North Dakota, across 2 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $483k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
