01What it does

What Hope In South Africa Inc does

Mission

A global partnership that nurtures and empowers South African communities, especially in the Karoo region, to provide health, education, and nutrition programs for youth. These programs are designed to encourage youth to become healthy, responsible citizens in their racially diverse communities.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.

Programs

  1. 2025 continued the implementation of Hope in South Africa, Inc's (HISA's) core activities. The soup kitchen and bakery continued to supply youth and adults in need with nutritous meals daily from Monday through Friday. The efforts in the soup kitchen were supported not only by Grassroot Hope in South Africa (GHISA), but also by donations of meat and vegetables from local farmers, community members, and the national government.The computer center, located in the Richmond Community Center (RCC), continued in efforts of providing computer skills training and educational opportunities for adults and youth in the community. Local high school and middle school students rely on the computer center to complete their homework and engage in job search activities. Programs long championed by HISA in delivering health education messages relevant to Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and HIV/AIDs awareness continue to be presented at the RCC.

  2. In 2025, the more than 500 bikes that arrived at the end of 2024 were unpacked and prepared for use by the residents of Richmond and Colesberg. Half of the bikes were shared with the Rotary partners in Colesberg, NC. HISA has provided critical funding and support for this bike effort in partnership with several Rotary Clubs in South Africa, the USA, and around the World. The goal of establishing a bicycle activity area in Colesberg and at the Richmond Community Center (RCC) was successful. A second shipping container was purchased and delivered to be used for storage and to establish a bike shop for repairs. In 2025, 6 travelers from Frederick, Maryland, including 4 Rotarians, traveled to Richmond and Colesberg to support the bike effort and help implement the program. HISA, in partnership with the Rotary Clubs, trained community members in both towns to be bicycle mechanics. Children and adults received training in the safety, upkeep, and responsibility of bicycle ownership. During a weekend event, the USA travelers conducted bike riding and repair workshops and participated in several bike rides in Colesberg, NC with local Rotarians and residents from Richmond, Colesberg,…

Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 6 funders, grant income rose $500 → $16k.

1 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% 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 In South Africa Inc’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.

Hope In South Africa Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 62% of grant income and the top three 96%; half comes from just 1 funder.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

63% 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 In South Africa Inc.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $344 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
