What Eye Samaritans International does
Mission
To treat and prevent retinopathy of prematurity (rop) in eastern europe, black sea countries, and russian federation entities where half of the babies go blind from this disease.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Education, development, and training: to educate and develop leaders in pediatric ophthalmology and neonatology. Carefully explain the nature of rop, how to develop screening protocols, teach the classification of rop, indications for treatment, timing of treatment, and need for continued follow up.
National guidlines and societies: establish and or invigorate national societies, national policies and ongoing training and education of physicians and nicu nurses involved in the care of preterm infants. Assist national leaders in procuring the proper equipment for both neonatal care and the proper screening and treatment of rop in the nicu. Hand on teaching of proper methods of indirect ophthalmoscopy and laser retinopexy for detection and treatment of rop.
The 2 programs described on its FY2022 Form 990-EZ.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 $103k to $69k (−33%).
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 EYE SAMARITANS INTERNATIONAL’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. 4 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2022: the base narrowed from 2 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $30k → $20k.

How concentrated its funding is
EYE SAMARITANS INTERNATIONAL leans on a few funders — its largest provides 85% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
85% 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 EYE SAMARITANS INTERNATIONAL.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 53% · 2019 80% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% — growing more concentrated.
