What Cleft Care International does
Mission
Cleft Care International was formed with the intention to issue grants of funds and goods to support the important work of foreign non-governmental organizations around the world that provide comprehensive cleft care to children in need. Our vision is for every child to be free to grow, learn, pursue education, communicate, and thrive. The scope of our work is to support through grants of funds and goods the comprehensive care of children and adults born with cleft lip and palate. Specifically, we seek to support organizations around the world who perform surgeries and provide comprehensive pre- and post-surgical care to those with no financial means to pursue the care themselves.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Surgery: many low-income countries face a shortage of surgeons who specialize in performing cleft lip and palate repair. And even where surgeons are available, reparative surgery is out of reach for many families without the means to pay for surgery and all the costs that surround it. Teams of volunteer surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and other healthcare professionals regularly travel to low-income countries to provide their services for free, but there are still several costs for the surgery, including facility fees, the cost of supplies and medication, and other costs such as transporting and housing the family from their oft-distant homes to the location of the surgery. Cleft Care International supports programs that organize, coordinate, and execute surgical cleft missions.
$38,147 spent50% of program spendingSpeech therapy: closing the lip and the palate makes a big difference in the lives of children with cleft. However, this does not completely resolve the problem. Every child born with an open palate needs speech therapy after closing this palate. Because of the structural differences of the face and mouth associated with cleft lip and palate, children develop insecurity and avoidance behaviors in speaking situations within their communities. This leads to isolation, fears and anxieties which impact their social participation. Cleft Care International supports programs providing speech therapy services to children and adults born with cleft.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 2023 to 2024, from $34k to $154k (+351%).
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. 0 of the last 2 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
4 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 CLEFT CARE INTERNATIONAL’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
CLEFT CARE INTERNATIONAL leans on a few funders — its largest provides 35% of grant income and the top three 88%; 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 CLEFT CARE INTERNATIONAL.
“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
100% of CLEFT CARE INTERNATIONAL'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $104k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
