What Helping Oppressed People Everywhere does
Mission
The purpose of Helping Oppressed People Everywhere HOPE is to reach out to disadvantaged children and families wherever they are and show genuine love and care by providing essential needs and sustainable interventions. Currently our focus is South Africa, Romania, and Virginia.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
In partnership with Duduza Care Centre, this project supports over 150 students in the rural township of Matiwane, KwaZulu-Natal. HOPE funds four essential initiatives that help children thrive: after school care, childhood nutrition, intervention services, and sustainable gardening. Reaching across the KwaZulu-Natal region, this project provides direct aid to 600 students in need: HOPE DUDUZA GRANT PROJECT: 600 Vulnerable Children: 300 HIV positive students receive psychosocial support, 200 students receive daily meals from local soup kitchens, and 100 students receive monthly food parcels. Originally funded by USAID, this program lost its support in 2025. HOPE is actively seeking new donors and partners to continue this life-saving work.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2023 to 2024, from $243k to $334k (+38%).
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.

Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income rose $105k → $126k.
3 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 78% 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 HELPING OPPRESSED PEOPLE EVERYWHERE’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
HELPING OPPRESSED PEOPLE EVERYWHERE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 66% of grant income and the top three 88%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
91% 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 HELPING OPPRESSED PEOPLE EVERYWHERE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 52% · 2020 90% · 2021 87% · 2022 68% · 2023 47% — diversifying over time.
“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
78% of HELPING OPPRESSED PEOPLE EVERYWHERE'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 $165k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $583k 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.
