What Hope Haitian Ministries does
Mission
To speak hope to America through the faith testimonies of Haitian young people, and to bring hope to Haiti through spiritual development and the practical help of education, water, food, medical care, and other basic needs
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
House of Hope Christian Counseling Center began in 2025. It is a multi village ministry to train pastors and teachers in mental health. We held clinics and retreats for children as well.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
School of Hope and Hope Church: A school in the mountains of Haiti serves over 500 students in Haiti. They meet 5 days a week and receive a nutritious meal during each of those days. They are taught by qualified teachers who teach through a French curriculum. The school employs over 30 staff members who also receive a meal each day as well as teacher training throughout the year. Our goals are to provide meaningful work for them and to give the children a great Christian education.
$179,606 spent76% of program spendingProviding food for Hope Haitian Choir members and their families in Haiti: With security issues and high inflation, many members of our choir have often not had enough to eat. We have sent money to buy food for them. About 30 families were able receive food packets about every other month in 2025. We have also provided phone minutes in order for them to have communication. When necessary, we have also helped with housing as some have been forced out of their homes.

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 2022 to 2023, from $12k to $108k (+785%).
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.
100% of HOPE HAITIAN MINISTRIES’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income rose $25k → $58k.
2 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 41% 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 HAITIAN MINISTRIES’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 HAITIAN MINISTRIES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 41% of grant income and the top three 97%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
56% 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 HAITIAN MINISTRIES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 60% · 2020 100% · 2021 71% · 2022 73% · 2023 52% — 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
75% of HOPE HAITIAN MINISTRIES's grant income comes from Maine funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $142k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
