As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Ensuring the wellbeing of young girls this project achieved phenomenal success in 2024. All 300 students enrolled in the program stayed in school, and all 60 of the young mothers who participated completed vocational training programs. The vocational training options like sewing, dressmaking, culinary arts, soapmaking and manufacturing ecological charcoal were so appealing that 120 students enrolled in these classes also so that they might have a way to earn extra money during the school holidays.

  2. Adult literacy program the adult literacy program continues to be at the heart of crmf programming. 1,093 adults enrolled in ong st. Gabriel's free, neighbor- hood-based adult litercy classes in 2024, with an astounding 822 - 75% - successfully completing the program last year. Computer literacy program ong st. Gabriel trained 280 people in basic computer skills last year, exceeding its 2024 goal of enrolling 225. Young people are clamoring for this course, understanding that I.t. Skills are increasingly vital to winning well-paid jobs.

  3. Women's self-help groups the goal of the self-help groups is to provide literacy program graduates with a path to economic self-sufficiency. By working together and pooling their savings, the groups become eligible for loans that can be invested in creating small businesses. Our st. Gabriel partners mentored 32 active women's self-help groups totaling 340 literate women in 2024, connecting many to specialized training. 88% of the members achieved financial independence through their own enterprises, including sewing, raising crops and livestock, food processing, and restaurants. Their success is life- changing, particularly for their children.

  4. The model healthy village initiative as in the previous model healthy villages, the goal of this program is to improve public health by bringing clean water, hygiene education, safe sanitation, and environmentally friendly smokeless ovens to an entire fokontany and its cluster of small villages and hamlets. In 2024, crmf funding equipped skilled health educators - all of them from toamasina - to organize hygiene educations and to provide every household with water filters, latrines, handwash kits, and the knowledge to use and maintain them. Just one year into implementing the project in the remote village of ambodisaina ivondro, the community rate of open defecation dropped from 81.6% to 6.4%. Data collected during our past mhv projects have shown that the introduction of the basic hygiene measures mentioned above has substantially reduced both school absenteeism and the rate of infectious diarrhea among the overall population. In addition, the use of the environmentally friendly smokeless oven has reduced the occurrence of respiratory disease.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $9k → $34k.

8 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 92% 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 CARING RESPONSE MADAGASCAR FOUNDATION’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

CARING RESPONSE MADAGASCAR FOUNDATION has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 24% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left

92% 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 CARING RESPONSE MADAGASCAR FOUNDATION.

first grant+1y+2y+3y

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.

Where its funders are

92% of CARING RESPONSE MADAGASCAR FOUNDATION'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 $15k that is directly attributable, 97% of it comes from Ohio funders.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $159k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
