What Coar Peace Mission Inc does
Mission
Coar peace mission strives to promote justice, community and peace in el salvador through the support of effective programs in health, education and welfare, which offer direct support to vulnerable children and their families.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Grants to the coar children's village in zaragaoza, el salvador, central america. These grants directly support approximately 40 children in residential foster care at the coar children's village, administered by the roman catholic archdiocese of san salvador. The grants provide all the children's food, health care, shelter and utilities, transportation, school tuition and supplies, vocational training and supplies, recreation supplies, security and support staff including housemothers, psychologists, maintenance workers, accountants, child care experts and government compliance experts (with the child care laws of el salvador, lepina). Secondarily the grants subsidize the coar school and clinic, which together serve an additional 1,000 children and their families.

The mission cooperative plan coordinates invitations to missions of the catholic church to speak at parishes throughout north america, educating parishioners about their particular mission, the missions of the church generally and relating the mission to the day's mass readings. Coar peace mission receives approximately 30-60 assignments each year and is frequently asked to expand the weekend invitation to a week-long or on-going educational relationship with parish groups and schools. Educational materials are found in our newsletter, website, social media sites and other material produced to meet the needs of teachers and parishes.
$69,268 spent11% of program spendingSponsorship programs (give a child a home (gch) and give a child a chance (gcc)). In order to connect to the children more personally, approximately 500 donors choose to sponsor a child. The two programs, gch and gcc, feature support for the residential program or school expenses, respectively. Donors receive a picture and letter from a coar child every six months, or more frequently if they wish to correspond. Grant expense is included in 4a towards the support of all the operations of the coar children's village and not to support a particular child.
$33,286 spent5% of program spendingStudent and group mission trips to the coar children's village.

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 2023 to 2024, from $1.3M to $1.7M (+23%).
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: 2021 4%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
90% of COAR PEACE MISSION INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (97% 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 4 funders to 11 funders, grant income rose $38k → $97k.
9 of 18 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 89% 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 COAR PEACE MISSION 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
COAR PEACE MISSION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 44% of grant income and the top three 69%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
89% 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 COAR PEACE MISSION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 51% · 2018 42% · 2019 57% · 2020 60% · 2021 34% · 2022 54% · 2023 41% — 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 COAR PEACE MISSION INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 78% 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
89% of COAR PEACE MISSION 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 $71k that is directly attributable, 63% of it comes from Ohio funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $586k 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.
