What Masinyusane Inc does
Mission
Raising and expending funds to support and carry out development projects in impoverished communities in South Africa, with the goal of alleviating suffering and poverty.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Top Learners: Sending top high school learners from over 40 impoverished township high schools in the Eastern Cape to university. Support includes application fees, assistance in obtaining financial aid and bursaries, tuition assistance, transportation stipends, housing in Masinyusane's Houses of Excellence, food and welfare, and mentoring and tutoring. Masinyusane was actively supporting over 1000 students in high school and university, all from very impoverished backgrounds.

We build libraries & literacy centres in preschools and schools and have these reading coaches work with children one-on-one at whatever level they are at for the first 5-6 years of their schooling life. This provides them with the foundation in reading, writing and comprehension that every child deserves. We are thus creating jobs in which community youth are employed to help uplift their own schools and children.

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 2021 to 2022, from $48k to $103k (+116%).
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 MASINYUSANE INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (87% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $27k → $68k.
4 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 98% 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 MASINYUSANE 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
MASINYUSANE INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 89% 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
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 MASINYUSANE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 83% · 2020 87% · 2021 100% · 2022 82% · 2023 92% — 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.
Where its funders are
98% of MASINYUSANE 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 $11k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Massachusetts, across 2 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $443k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
