What Mission Guatemala Inc does
Mission
Living out our love for God and for our neighbor Mission Guatemala exists to provide respectful and equitable access to healthcare nutrition education and community development initiatives in San Andres Semetabaj and beyond.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Mission Guatemala coordinates the Nios Chispudos nutritional programs in 6 rural communities for children ages 6 months to 6 years of age. Chronic childhood malnutrition is a national crisis in Guatemala with close to half of young children lacking access both to sufficient daily food as well as a balanced and nutritious diet. This deficiency can contribute to stunting and other developmental growth issues which impact a child throughout their entire life. During 2025 the Nios Chispudos program served 129 children providing them with a daily nutritional supplement vital vitamins and minerals and direct medical intervention along with educational workshops for parents regarding proper diet healthy lifestyle habits and recommended dental hygiene practices including regular fluoride applications.
$31,059 spent7% of program spendingMission Guatemala operates a medical clinic providing respectful and quality care 5 days per week to members of the rural and underserved communities in western Guatemala. The services offered include medical consultation and treatment ultrasound imaging and EKG testing as well as laboratory services. The clinic also provides access to medications for patients as prescribed by the clinic doctor. The medical staff coordinates a diabetes education and treatment program as well as a program providing prenatal care and education for expectant mothers. In 2025 the clinic served approximately 3,600 patients and performed over 5,300 lab tests. While patients are asked to provide a minimal contribution to cover a small portion of the actual cost of care no patient is denied care due to lack of resources.
$168,389 spent$37,632 earned by the program35% of program spendingBelieving that education equals empowerment Mission Guatemala supports the advancement of education within the rural communities of western Guatemala. Given the reduced access to public education beyond the primary school level the Becas con Misin scholarship program empowers students to continue their studies beyond the sixth grade by providing middle and high school scholarships that cover tuition and materials. In addition Mission Guatemalas Kematzib Technology Learning Center which is registered and authorized by the Guatemalan Ministry of Education provides basic computer literacy classes that are required as part of the mandatory middle school curriculum. During 2025 Mission Guatemala provided scholarship support for 88 students and trained 127 students in computer and internet literacy. In addition the organization continued the construction of a kitchen for one of the local schools.

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 $1.2M to $2.0M (+66%).
How it's funded, over time

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 5 funders, grant income rose $724 → $27k.
4 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 81% 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 Mission Guatemala 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
Mission Guatemala Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 68% of grant income and the top three 92%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
81% 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 Mission Guatemala Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 85% · 2020 50% · 2021 72% · 2022 30% · 2023 54% — 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 Mission Guatemala Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 90% 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
81% of Mission Guatemala 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 $87k that is directly attributable, 78% of it comes from Indiana funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $365k 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.
