Mission
To empower communities to provide for orphans and the vulnerable, and to create a promising future through economic development, education and medical care programs.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
COMMUNITY BASED CENTERS The centers provide for the basic needs of orphans and widows through feeding programs, but also focus on community development programs with long-term sustainability. Six centers operate in the rural areas outside of Lilongwe, the capital city in central Malawi. Programs are community based, operated by ministry of Hope, Malawi (a Malawi based NGO) in conjunction with village leadership and volunteers. Food is raised at the centers, supplemented with purchased food as needed. Increasing emphasis is on development programs and income generating projects that will allow the community to provide for their members.

Scholarships go to the best and brightest, most hardworking and successful students. This in turn inspires other children to work hard in school.

The clinic is staffed by a medical director, physician assistants, nurses, volunteers from U.S. churches and service groups. The Mobile Medical Clinic has been registered and approved to operate by the Malawian government. A clinic bus transports staff, testing equipment and a mobile pharmacy on monthly visits to MOH communities.

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 2018 to 2019, from $153k to $101k (−34%).
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 MINISTRY OF HOPE INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 6 funders, grant income rose $47k → $98k.
4 of 13 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 82% 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 MINISTRY OF HOPE INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 12 of 13 funders by total. 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
MINISTRY OF HOPE INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 49% of grant income and the top three 86%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
94% 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 MINISTRY OF HOPE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 86% · 2019 100% · 2020 90% · 2021 80% · 2022 53% · 2023 51% — 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
67% of MINISTRY OF HOPE INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 46% 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
82% of MINISTRY OF HOPE 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 $119k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside North Carolina, across 5 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $559k 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.
