Programs
Brave little warriors - this program is a compassionate initiative focused on helping children with serious or chronic illnesses receive the medical care they urgently need, regardless of their family's financial situation. By collaborating with fondacioni firdeus, healthcare professionals, and hospitals, the program identifies children who require medical support and covers expenses such as surgeries, medications, and diagnostic procedures. In cases where specialized treatment is unavailable locally, the foundation arranges for children to receive care abroad, including travel, accommodations, and medical coordination. This initiative not only saves lives but also gives hope to families who might otherwise have no access to proper healthcare. Ultimately, the program is committed to improving the health and future of vulnerable children.

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 $6.6M to $8.4M (+26%).

From the IRS filings of FRIENDS OF FONDACIONI FIRDEUS 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.
Where its funders are
100% of FRIENDS OF FONDACIONI FIRDEUS 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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $12M arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
