What Honduras Threads does
Mission
Honduras Thread's Mission is to strengthen the fabric of lives through work, pride and faith. Since we became a nonprofit in 2003, we started 5 cooperatives in rural communities near Tegucigalpa, Honduras to provide women a way to earn money without leaving their homes and families. Honduras Threads has taught the women embroidery and sewing techniques, business skills, provided designs and donated applique fabrics, and marketed their products in the U.S. All proceeds of the sales go directly to the artisans. In 2016, the women voted to seek a social enterprise designation from the Honduran government. This is a designation for agricultural and artisan businesses owned equally by all participants in rural areas. In October 2017, the government approved the designation for the business, Empressa de Servicio Multiples Mujere Artisanas Arte y Creatividad. This gives the business legitimacy and is a necessary step in setting them on a path toward sustainability in years to come.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
We have resumed events and activities this fiscal year after the end of the pandemic. We have also continued fundraising efforts. We have held an art show to help boost sales that was very successful.
$0 spent
The program described on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $0.
The organization over time
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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $30k to $59k (+95%).
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.
99% of HONDURAS THREADS’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $5k → $19k.
4 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 93% 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 HONDURAS THREADS’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
HONDURAS THREADS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 74% of grant income and the top three 93%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
93% 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 HONDURAS THREADS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 96% · 2023 54% — 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
93% of HONDURAS THREADS'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 $10k that is directly attributable, 51% of it comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $139k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
Against its field
HONDURAS THREADS has grown faster than three-quarters of the 13,062 human services nonprofits its size.
