What Life Impact International Inc does
Mission
Life impact works relentlessly to make a difference in the lives of trafficked, exploited, and at-risk children in thailand, burma, and brazil. Through local prevention projects and outreaches, we work to prevent child exploitation, reaching nearly 1,000 children in brazil alone. We offer tutoring, counseling, vocational training, food, and so much more. We partner with local governments, including police, social welfare workers, hospitals, and community leaders, to rescue children from horrific situations, operating some 20 family-style safe homes in the three nations. We don't just rescue children. We take every step possible to bring restoration, healing, and wholeness to each child entrusted to our care. We help them heal through counseling and education, giving them the love and childhood they deserve, and pointing them to the greatest rescuer of all, jesus.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Our programs in brazil are accomplished through grants to life impact brazil, based in campina grande, brazil. We have six prevention projects in five brazilian communities in three regions: rio de janeiro, ceara (northeast), and the amazon (north). These projects provide a safe place for the children to receive help, tutoring, food, supplies, play games or sports, and learn about jesus. In 2024, over a 1,000 children were enrolled in our prevention projects. In 2024, we distributed more than 137,000 meals and nearly 38,000 pounds of food. Our mission is to prevent abuse and exploitation since many of the children live in some of the darkest and most dangerous regions of the world for children.some will sell their bodies for rice and beans. While for others, their only hope for money or status is to be a drug dealer or the girlfriend of a drug dealer. Our life impact brazil team does everything it can to help families in the community with food, education, vocational training, counseling, and sharing the gospel with them. A professional staff of psychologists and social workers visits families in "favelas" every year. They are trained to recognize any abuse in the home. They also…

Our 18 family-style safe homes are located on 52 acres. Our emergency shelter is in an undisclosed location. In 2024, we housed and cared for just over 100 underage children who had been exploited, abused, trafficked, or were living as orphans. Twenty-four of these children were rescued in 2024. Every rescued child has house parents, lives in a family-style safe home, and is provided all of life's necessities, including education and medical care. The children also participate in extracurricular activities like sports and music programs. Besides rescuing children, we also take steps to prevent thousands of children from being sold, trafficked, or pressured into a life of exploitation and slavery through our outreach and prevention projects.

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.

Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $910k to $1.5M (+65%).
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.
98% of LIFE IMPACT INTERNATIONAL INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (97% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 7 funders, grant income rose $7k → $240k.
9 of 16 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 LIFE IMPACT INTERNATIONAL 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.
How concentrated its funding is
LIFE IMPACT INTERNATIONAL INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 52% of grant income and the top three 79%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
93% 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 LIFE IMPACT INTERNATIONAL INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 77% · 2020 50% · 2021 91% · 2022 78% · 2023 57% — 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
43% of LIFE IMPACT INTERNATIONAL INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% 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
LIFE IMPACT INTERNATIONAL INC draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Oklahoma, across 5 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $442k arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
