What Citta Inc does
Mission
CITTA focuses on underprivileged communities which are considered to be some of the worlds most economically challenged and remote. Our objective is to preserve the culture of the communities we support. CITTA has developed a holistic and adaptable method called the HEED model (Health, Education, and Economic Development). We connect with these communities, considering the lack of access to proper healthcare and educational opportunities and weak or nonexistent economic development that can lead a community into a never-ending downward spiral. CITTA works to remedy the specific needs of a community, to produce an environment of equanimity and stability that provides opportunities and a sense of initiative and pride in its inhabitants.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The Rajkumari Ratnavati School is open and presently offered to girls below the poverty line residing in the Thar Desert region of Jaisalmer District, Rajasthan, India. The facilities include classrooms, a library, a computer center, and a bus facility to transport girls from neighboring villages. The school began with an enrollment of 140 girls from Class 1 to 4 that will move up in the school each year until we reach capacity at 400 students up to Class 10. Using a social-emotional learning-based curriculum, students learn to read, write, and develop traditional skills unique to the region. The school also provides mid-day meals to ensure proper students nutrition and lessen families financial burden. Cittas programs in Rajasthan empower women and girls through education, livelihoods, and cultural preservation. The Rajkumari Ratnavati Girls School in Jaisalmer offers quality education and transport for first-generation learners, supported by technology-led and SEE (Social, Emotional, and Ethical) learning.

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 $94k to $509k (+441%).
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.
98% of Citta Inc’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (100% 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.

Leadership and staff
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 narrowed from 10 funders to 6 funders, grant income rose $150k → $359k.
9 of 24 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 26% 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 Citta 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
Citta Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 36% of grant income and the top three 80%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
26% 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 Citta Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 67% · 2018 45% · 2019 52% · 2020 30% · 2021 61% · 2022 43% · 2023 56% — 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
37% of Citta Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 58% 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
Citta Inc draws 89% of its grant income from funders outside New York, across 6 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $763k arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
Against its field
Citta Inc holds deeper cash reserves than three-quarters of the 4,524 international nonprofits its size.
