Programs
NIGERIA PROGRAM WISE - Since August 2021, PfD has been implementing a three-year, $3.5 million project, Water Improvement and Sanitation Enhancement (WISE), funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in 102 rural communities in Jigawa and Kano states in northern Nigeria. The goal of WISE is to provide potable water and improved sanitation and hygiene services to 123,000 beneficiaries in these rural communities through the installation of improved water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) facilities and the provision of hygiene education.On 30 September 2024, PfD handed over the WISE project to local governments after 38 months of implementation. At the time of handover, the WISE project had installed 98 improved water facilities that provide potable water to 76,249 persons. Also, WISE handed over 54 improved sanitation facilities located in schools and primary health care facilities which service 10,305 people. Additionally, through its Community-Led Total Sanitation Plus (CLTS Plus) intervention, PfD incentivized 9,509 households to construct and use their own improved and safely managed latrines. Thus, helping to reduce the rate of open defecation with 98 of the…
$1,688,089 spent51% of program spendingBENIN PROGRAMPINEX In 2024 PfD concluded work in Benin on the multi-year $15M Pineapple Processing for Export project (PINEX) which was core-funded by the by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). PINEX's foundational strategy involved collaborating with local entities within the pineapple industry for product market analysis, followed by enhancing or establishing the capabilities of farmers and manufacturers to fulfill this market need. Working with two of its key implementation partners, PINEX reached production milestones in 2024. In collaboration with the Territorial Agency for Agricultural Development (ATDA7), the project implemented an innovative irrigation pilot program. The program helped eleven pineapple growers install irrigation equipment on 24.5 hectares, enabling the export of 1,470 tons of pineapples to European markets. The Network of Pineapple Producers' Associations of Benin (RPAB), another crucial PINEX partner, successfully renewed organic certification for 225 hectares, with organic pineapple production generating $187,476 from 1,124 tons harvested across 22.5 hectares during the year. Over the course of 2024, the project trained 893 pineapple growers,…

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 2019 to 2020, from $7.8M to $4.7M (−40%).
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 63% · 2018 81% · 2019 54% · 2021 92% · 2022 89% · 2023 91% · 2024 92%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
94% of PARTNERS FOR DEVELOPMENT’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (97% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $13k → $60k.
5 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 12% 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 PARTNERS FOR DEVELOPMENT’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
PARTNERS FOR DEVELOPMENT leans on a few funders — its largest provides 84% of grant income and the top three 97%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 PARTNERS FOR DEVELOPMENT.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 76% · 2019 85% · 2020 59% · 2021 93% · 2022 89% · 2023 67% — 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
43% of PARTNERS FOR DEVELOPMENT's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 63% 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
PARTNERS FOR DEVELOPMENT draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Maryland, across 2 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $295k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.

These figures are read directly from IRS Form 990 / 990-PF e-file XML: this organization’s own return for FY2024 (financials across 2017–2024), and the filings of 8 funders that report grants to it. “On record” means captured in the filings we have parsed — a funder that does not e-file, or whose grant detail is not itemized, will not appear. Filings run roughly 12–24 months behind. Trends on this page end at FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving; later years are shown and marked, and move no figure.
