Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
Empowering Indigenous Children & Youth: Scoring goals for equality is a new project that seeks to empower indigenous girls and young women from Santiago el Pinar through soccer as a tool of empowerment and education to catalyze positive changes, inspire confidence, and heal the wounds of discrimination. 30 girls, ages 9 to 19, meet every week to learn to play soccer, apply crucial life skills, exercise personal empowerment, and work as a team. Project implemented by Centro de Investigación y Servicios Profesionales (CISERP). The project "Young People Empowering Their Future" aims to empower Tseltal youth to develop self-confidence, communication skills, and life skills, gain knowledge about health, sexuality, and human rights, and explore employment and educational opportunities, to successfully build their futures. Seventy young people between the ages of 13 and 18, hailing from six different communities, attend weekly workshops. Project implemented by Centro de Formación Integral para Promotores Indígenas (CEFIPI). The project "Strengthening Collective Resilience in Mayan Children and Youth" aims to contribute to improving the social fabric in rural communities of Yucatán,…

Women learn to produce diverse food in their vegetable gardens, raise chickens, and learn how to prepare more nutritious food. Families gain access to water and improve their home conditions reducing gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases caused by smoke inhalation.

Through the project, women learn to master cutting and sewing techniques to design new garments using their traditional embroidery and weaving, contributing to the competitiveness of their enterprise but preserving the cultural identity of the indigenous communities. Project implemented by Jolom Mayaetik.

Services are provided by a telemedicine platform that serves approximately 7,000 patients per year, and a personal support system that serves approximately 25 patients with very advanced or poor-prognosis conditions per year.

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 $547k to $718k (+31%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 0% · 2018 0% · 2019 0% · 2020 6% · 2021 8% · 2022 0% · 2023 2% · 2024 0% · 2025 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of One Equal Heart Foundation’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (87% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 5 funders, grant income rose $56k → $291k.
5 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 35% 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 One Equal Heart Foundation’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
One Equal Heart Foundation leans on a few funders — its largest provides 61% of grant income and the top three 94%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
35% 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 One Equal Heart Foundation.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 53% · 2018 39% · 2019 56% · 2020 35% · 2021 54% · 2022 50% · 2023 79% — growing more concentrated.
“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
75% of One Equal Heart Foundation's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 78% 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 One Equal Heart Foundation's grant income comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $572k 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.
Against its field
One Equal Heart Foundation holds deeper cash reserves than three-quarters of the 4,237 philanthropy nonprofits its size.
