What Edpowerment Inc does
Mission
To provide educational trainings, sponsorships, and related support for neglected students, community members and schools in severely impoverished villages outside of Moshi, Tanzania.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
IN-COUNTRY PROGRAM MANAGEMENT: These expenses include staff, who supervise all sponsorships, conduct seminars, and manage the EdPowerment Business Incubation Center and all other programs. Our staff includes 9 educators and trainers across our programs. In 2025 we replaced an older van with a newer all-terrain vehicle that can better reach our beneficiary families and schools and facilitate programs in remote areas.
$90,908 spent41% of program spendingEDPOWERMENT BUSINESS INCUBATION CENTER (EBIC): The EdPowerment Business Incubation Center serves motivated young adults (16 years of age and older) who are no longer in formal schooling but seek a way to earn a sustainable income. The staff teaches trade skills specifically in (1) carpentry, (2) snack/food production and (3) tailoring. The tailoring program includes a reusable menstrual pad program, Wings for Confident Women (WCW) to improve the lives and health of female students and women. In 2025 the Center incorporated a full-service ICT/Digital Literacy Program for its apprentices and the general community, who have no access to reliable internet or current laptop computers.

We also provided support for recent university graduates transitioning into the workplace.

This years cohort included a Law Degree, BA in Accounting, BS in Architecture and a Diploma in Animal Production.

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 $89k to $158k (+78%).
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.
100% of EDPOWERMENT INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 9 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 broadened from 4 funders to 6 funders, grant income rose $65k → $89k.
6 of 13 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 75% 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 EDPOWERMENT 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
EDPOWERMENT INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 63% of grant income and the top three 97%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder 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 EDPOWERMENT INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 92% · 2018 85% · 2019 82% · 2020 70% · 2021 91% · 2022 70% · 2023 50% — 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 EDPOWERMENT INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 46% 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
75% of EDPOWERMENT 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 $201k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside New Jersey, across 4 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $599k 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.
