What Kanpe Foundation Inc does
Mission
KANPE, which means "to stand up" in Haitian Creole, is a foundation that supports underserved rural communities in Haiti to help them overcome socio-economic barriers on their way to autonomy. KANPE supports the community of Baille Tourible (BT) in the remote highlands of Haiti's Central Plateau, distinguished by its mountainous terrain, geographic isolation, and difficult access by road. We focus on a holistic and integrated approach, ensuring access to free, quality healthcare and education, economic opportunities, entrepreneurship, local infrastructure strengthening, leadership and agroforestry. We give the poorest a voice so that they can express their needs, priorities, and goals, and we work with strong local Haitian organizations who bring skills, knowledge, tools, and training to support the community towards autonomy.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
In collaboration with its Haitian partners, The KANPE Foundation supports families and their communities as they work to achieve autonomy by strengthening six essential pillars: health and nutrition, agriculture, education, entrepreneurship, leadership, and improvement of local infrastructure. In 2021, we were able to provide support to the management of the public elementary school for the preparation and distribution of hot meals to 450 students, music classes, in-ongoing training for teachers; maintenance of the building and a new agroforestry teaching program as well as capacity building training for local women's organizations.

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 2023 to 2024, from $383k to $1.3M (+251%).
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.
48% of KANPE FOUNDATION INC’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $15k → $354k.
6 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 85% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
KANPE FOUNDATION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 42% of grant income and the top three 93%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
98% 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 KANPE FOUNDATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 44% · 2019 72% · 2020 77% · 2021 46% · 2022 71% · 2023 75% — 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
22% of KANPE FOUNDATION INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 67% 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
85% of KANPE FOUNDATION INC'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 $372k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Vermont, across 4 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.1M 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.
