Uganda - in fiscal year 2025, charity: water funded 579 water projects in uganda, which will serve an estimated 170,110 people. Twenty years ago, charity: water funded its first project in uganda, marking the start of a long-term commitment to the country. Uganda remains a major focus, with funding for eight local partners that improve project monitoring, encourage collaboration, and conserve resources-though challenges persist. These include limited groundwater potential, flooding that degrades water quality, and acidic water that damages infrastructure. More than 59% of the population lives on less than $3 a day, and about 2 million refugees reside there. Additionally, 73% of ugandans live in rural areas, where 43% lack basic water access, and 74% lack basic sanitation.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2022 to 2023, from $176M to $136M (−22%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
94% of CHARITY GLOBAL INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (21% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 118 funders to 189 funders, grant income rose $7.5M → $20M.
99 of 611 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 72% 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 CHARITY GLOBAL INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 611 funders by total. 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
CHARITY GLOBAL INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 23% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
75% 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 CHARITY GLOBAL INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 17% · 2018 24% · 2019 24% · 2020 30% · 2021 33% · 2022 29% · 2023 20% — growing more concentrated.
“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
28% of CHARITY GLOBAL INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 49% 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
72% of CHARITY GLOBAL INC'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 $41M that is directly attributable, 99% of it comes from funders outside Tennessee, across 43 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $104M arriving through sponsors registered in 31 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.
