What Kilimanjaro Childrens Fund does
Mission
The primary purpose of the Kilimanjaro Children's Fund is to provide financial support and assistance to the children and young adults in the Kilimanjaro region who are at risk because they are orphans, homeless, sick or living in extreme poverty. This activity involves grant assistance for projects designed to deal with specific issues and sites to include orphanages, homeless aid agencies, school placement and assistance work, aide to needy schools and preschools, feeding projects, medical care needs, and other worthy areas dealing with children. Grants will be awarded on an individual basis after ensuring that financial accountability and oversight are in place. Our secondary goal is to educate the international community to the cultural, medical and economic needs of the children of the Kilimanjaro region of Tanzania.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
In 2025 we awarded grants totaling 128,985 for the support of 53 children for grade school, high school and advanced studies in Tanzania and Kenya. Many of these were children who were once members of the defunct Kilimanjaro Orphanage Centre.

We also supported Daraja Preschool in Moshi, Tanzania with 2,909 dollars for ongoing school support for those children.

Most of these children were prior members of the Kilimanjaro Orphanage Centre in Moshi, Tanzania. We also assisted a primary clinic that serves Masai children in the Loitokitok area of Kenya. Many of our older children have qualified for colleges in both Tanzania and Kenya and our organization supports them through the date when they graduate.

The organization over time
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.
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 $14k to $40k (+190%).
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 KILIMANJARO CHILDRENS FUND’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (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
2020 → 2021: the base narrowed from 2 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $10k → $5.
2 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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
KILIMANJARO CHILDRENS FUND leans on a few funders — its largest provides 100% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 KILIMANJARO CHILDRENS FUND.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% — broadly stable.
“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
100% of KILIMANJARO CHILDRENS FUND'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10k 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.
Against its field
