What Friends of Asilong does
Mission
Friends of Asilong supports a marginalized community in a primitive area of Kenya that suffers from the lack of education, health services, clean water, food, and sanitation infrastructure. A missionary church is having a major impact in the community, but lacks the financial capability for projects such as schools, clinics and basic infrastructure development and maintenance. The long-term goal is for Asilong's improvements to be self-sustaining through increased knowledge and experience. Financial and relational support is for training, counseling and encouragement. The Corporation will: 1) Support the development of a high school by constructing facilities, subsidizing operational cost, providing tuition support/scholarships, and managerial advice. 2) Support the community in adult education, cross cultural exchange and developmentasl meetings to address issues such as, health, hygiene, water, peace, and nutrition. 3) Establish special funds to help accomplish these purposes
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.

How concentrated its funding is
FRIENDS OF ASILONG leans on a few funders — its largest provides 69% 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
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 FRIENDS OF ASILONG.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 99% · 2021 99% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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 FRIENDS OF ASILONG'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. $23k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
