What Hope for Honduran Children Foundation does
Mission
Our mission is to protect, inspire, nurture, educate, train, and challenge disadvantaged vulnerable Honduran children. We mentor and provide opportunities to help them reach their full potential and become self-sufficient, caring, responsible adults. Extreme poverty, lack of opportunity, drugs and gang violence contribute to a catastrophic struggle for human survival in Honduras. Most at risk are rural youth who migrate to the cities in search of opportunity where they are confronted with hunger, unemployment, disease, drug cartels, and brutal gangs specializing in trafficking, killings, kidnappings, rape and extortion. A United Nations Global Study advocates strong investment in education and employability for vulnerable children, youth, orphans, and those without access to public services. These are the children the Hope for Honduran Children Foundation works to serve, educate, and provide opportunities.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
EDUCATION AND SPONSORSHIP The United Nations reports that Honduras has the worst educational system in Central America and 51% of Honduran children receive no education after sixth grade. Extreme poverty and lack of education are very pressing problems that are prevalent for 75% of the population living in the mountain villages. In the rural communities most adults are unemployed and 2 in 10 are illiterate. Without the benefit of a good education, the population we serve has no possible escape from their cycle of deplorable poverty. In 2024 H4HC provided scholarships for 14 university scholars plus 4 high school students in our 2 residential homes. Additional support was provided to three students not living in our residences. Our long-term residential program requires exemplary character and academic focus while students are provided safe shelter, food, a quality education, clothing, medical care and abundant love. It is a family environment with rigorous expectations. The students quickly learn the benefits of integrity, self-discipline and honor and are supported through their studies at the university. H4HC students are thriving and graduates quickly find excellent employment.

Immersion trips are an integral part of the foundation's success with each trip designed to make a sustainable difference in the lives of the Honduran children, their families, the local communities, and the lives of our service volunteers. In 2024 there were two week-long trips (February and June). The trips offer a myriad of opportunities such as: 1) to engage in meaningful interaction with children & local villagers 2) to immerse yourself in a diverse and meaningful cultural experience 3) to enhance your global awareness 4) to bring much needed supplies to isolated villages 5) to change the world of a child in desperate need 6) to establish impactful relationships with our residential students.

Our Feed A Village program is extremely impactful. In 2024, the program helped to support several isolated and impoverished communities providing them with educational assistance, food, shoes, clothing, vitamins, medical and educational supplies. Scholarships were awarded to three university students, one student to medical school, one student to nursing school, and four students to high school. H4HC also brought support to the local Center for the Blind and internet connection to the local Santa Lucia high school. H4HC makes a meaningful and sustainable difference in the lives of rural Honduran Children as the foundation firmly believes that "A child without education is like a bird without wings."

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 2020 to 2021, from $533k to $705k (+32%).
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.
32% of HOPE FOR HONDURAN CHILDREN FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (87% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 6 funders, grant income rose $1k → $45k.
8 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 96% 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 HOPE FOR HONDURAN CHILDREN FOUNDATION’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
HOPE FOR HONDURAN CHILDREN FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 48% of grant income and the top three 70%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
96% 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 HOPE FOR HONDURAN CHILDREN FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 89% · 2019 96% · 2020 35% · 2021 86% · 2022 89% · 2023 36% — 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.
How long its funders stay
60% of HOPE FOR HONDURAN CHILDREN FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 78% give in more than one year at all.
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
96% of HOPE FOR HONDURAN CHILDREN FOUNDATION'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 $11k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Ohio, across 1 state.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $258k 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.
