What Lets Do Something Now does
Mission
Lets Do Something Now exists to engage the church by responding to the needs of the poor and oppressed around the globe. We are committed to providing opportunities that will allow people to use their skills and resources in alleviating poverty and in doing so, bringing hope.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Vocational training most of the mothers of teh children who are sponsored have no more than a second or third grade education and serveral of them haven never been to school. While rwandas economy is growing quickly it is leaving the uneducated behind and they are suffering badly. The average casual laborer earns less than a dollar a day. That is why many women turn to prostitution to provide for their children. Lets Do Something Now porvides a vocational training to 3 women to learn how to sew. Those women now have their own sewing machines and their own small shop in their community. In additon, 20 women received training to learn to make baskets and other items from grass. All of the women who received training through Lets Do Something Now are now earning a livable wage. They can feed their children purchase clothes for their children and pay their rent by doing something they enjoy and brings them honor.

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 2020 to 2021, from $94k to $164k (+74%).
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 LETS DO SOMETHING NOW’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. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1k 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. 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.
