What Musana Community Development Organization does
Mission
Musana Community Development Organization exists solely to support programs and capital development of the musana ngo in uganda, which is working towards self-sustainability. Mcdo provides both financial support and expertise in areas such as construction, craft skills, education, and financial reporting.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Musana focuses on developing and operating sustainable social enterprises in the areas of education, healthcare, vocational training, hospitality, and economic development. In 2025, musana uganda employed 743 ugandans in full-time positions, educated 5,354 students, including 1,943 students receiving scholarship support, and provided 100,892 patient visits through its hospitals and health outreaches. Musana also operated additional income-generating activities including hotels, restaurants, and merchandise production businesses. In 2025, enterprise operations in musana's three fully developed communities were financially self-sustaining, generating sufficient local revenue to cover operating costs.

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 2022 to 2023, from $601k to $1.2M (+99%).
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.
99% of MUSANA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year

17 of 28 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 78% 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 MUSANA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 27 of 28 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
MUSANA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 37% of grant income and the top three 78%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
79% 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 MUSANA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 89% · 2018 71% · 2019 54% · 2020 45% · 2021 47% · 2022 48% · 2023 38% — 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
73% of MUSANA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 54% 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
78% of MUSANA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION'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 $1.5M that is directly attributable, 95% of it comes from funders outside Colorado, across 8 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5.3M arriving through sponsors registered in 12 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.
