01What it does

What Heed Uganda does

Mission

To partner with communities in uganda so that children and their families thrive and experience fullness of life for generations. At heed, fullness of life means that people experience physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing within their communities. In the place where they live, people have access to enough food and water, education, opportunity for improved livelihoods, basic health services, and a flourishing christian church.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Program

  1. Heed Uganda partners with its ugandan partner organization, heed children, serving a 5-village area with about 6000 people in kassanda district in central uganda. The organizations (heed) serve the children and its community through projects in their five pathways to transformation aimed at improving education, health, water and sanitation projects, spiritual life and income generation to improve livelihoods. Heed operates a primary and high and vocational school which serve approximately 750 children. The community clinic serves the entire subcounty providing the only trained medical care in the vicinity. A community church meets the spiritual needs of the community, and a demonstration farm provides food for the schools and demonstrates climate-wise farming to the community. Water harvesting on all the buildings at the primary and high school collect water to provide an improved water source for the children and staff.

Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 9 funders, grant income rose $750 → $319k.

8 of 14 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 63% 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 HEED UGANDA’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

HEED UGANDA leans on a few funders — its largest provides 31% of grant income and the top three 72%; half comes from just 2 funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left

72% 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 HEED UGANDA.

“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

57% of HEED UGANDA's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 71% give in more than one year at all.

first grant+1y+2y+3y+4y+5y

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

63% of HEED UGANDA'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 $762k that is directly attributable, 77% of it comes from Washington funders.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.3M arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.

These figures are read directly from IRS Form 990 / 990-PF e-file XML: this organization’s own return for FY2024 (financials across 2020–2024), and the filings of 14 funders that report grants to it. “On record” means captured in the filings we have parsed — a funder that does not e-file, or whose grant detail is not itemized, will not appear. Filings run roughly 12–24 months behind. Trends on this page end at FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving; later years are shown and marked, and move no figure.
