As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
In 2025 Maternal Life International began merger discussions with Catholic World Missions. Subsequently contracts with program facilitators in Kenya and Tanzania were terminated in preparation for the merger. Following the mergers finalization in early March 2026 all Maternal Life International programs transitioned to operate under Catholic World Mission. Simultaneously Maternal Life International is undergoing dissolution proceedings with the Attorney General and SOS of Montana scheduled for completion by February 2026. As of December 31 2025 Maternal Life International ceased collecting donations from supporters.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
The Faithful House is a centerpiece program that provides couple-centered development for improving the health and social well-being of families through ongoing training programs in multiple sites in Africa. Over the course of its implementation it has reached nearly 300,000 couples providing them with knowledge and skills to improve their relationships be faithful and avoid HIV improve their food security share responsibilities and domestic tasks and further respect for women. Over the past fiscal year 5042 people were reached by this program directly in Kenya Tanzania Uganda and Zimbabwe.

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 2024 to 2025, from $113k to $-8235 (−107%).
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 MATERNAL LIFE INTERNATIONAL’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. 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 5 funders, grant income rose $2k → $37k.
6 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 95% 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
MATERNAL LIFE INTERNATIONAL leans on a few funders — its largest provides 54% of grant income and the top three 89%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
95% 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 MATERNAL LIFE INTERNATIONAL.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 97% · 2021 72% · 2022 71% · 2023 41% — 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
50% of MATERNAL LIFE INTERNATIONAL's funders are still giving 2 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
95% of MATERNAL LIFE INTERNATIONAL'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 $13k that is directly attributable, 96% of it comes from Montana funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $222k 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.
