What Hands for Peacemaking Foundation does
Mission
Hands for Peacemaking Foundation's mission is to assist people living in extreme poverty in the NW Highland area of rural Guatemala to become self-sufficient. This is accomplished through training in agriculture, establishment or improvement of water supply, sanitation, cooking methods and building schools for the youth.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Volunteer groups from North America journey to Guatemala to help rural communities. One of the key ways they provide assistance is by installing Aler Stoves, which are highly efficient for cooking and heating. In addition, these groups also construct one-room schoolhouses in the villages. They also help install water systems, which consist of 2500-liter water tanks, catchment and filter systems. This helps ensure that the villagers have access to clean and safe drinking water. All of these efforts are important for improving the health and quality of life for the villagers.

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 2019 to 2020, from $412k to $681k (+65%).
How it's funded, over time

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
81% 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 HANDS FOR PEACEMAKING FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 37% · 2019 50% · 2020 40% · 2021 97% · 2022 42% · 2023 62% — growing more concentrated.
“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.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $130k 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.
