Mission
Monteverde Friends U.S. (MFUS) is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization that was established in 1999 to make grants for social, cultural, educational, and other charitable organizations located in the Monteverde community and elsewhere in the world. More specifically, the purposes of MFUS are: 1. To promote the spiritual, social, cultural moral and educational development of the members of the Monteverde Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends as well as the inhabitants of the surrounding area. 2. To promote peace and social and economic justice in the Monteverde Region, in Costa Rica, in the rest of Central America, and elsewhere. 3. To promote among the members of the Monteverde Monthly Meeting, the residents of the Monteverde area, the rest of Costa Rica and elsewhere, an awareness and appreciation of the natural world, conservation practices and the defense of natural resources and the environment.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

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 $141k to $72k (−49%).
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 MONTEVERDE FRIENDS U S INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (87% for the typical peer).

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year

MONTEVERDE FRIENDS U S INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 62% of grant income and the top three 78%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
99% 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 MONTEVERDE FRIENDS U S INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 79% · 2019 76% · 2020 69% · 2021 78% · 2022 51% · 2023 55% — 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
38% of MONTEVERDE FRIENDS U S INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 40% 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
97% of MONTEVERDE FRIENDS U S 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 $15k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside New Hampshire, across 5 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $507k 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.
