What Partners in Health a Nonprofit Corporation does
Mission
Partners In Health (PIH) is a non-profit, global health organization that fights social injustice by bringing the benefits of modern medical science first and foremost to the most vulnerable communities worldwide. In Haiti, Malawi, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Lesotho, Peru, Mexico, Kazakhstan, U.S., and Navajo Nation, PIH's work focuses on those who would not otherwise have access to quality health care. PIH partners with the world's leading academic institutions to create rigorous evidence that shapes more sound and all-inclusive global health policies. PIH also supports local governments' efforts to build capacity and strengthen national health systems.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Zanmi Lasante (ZL), PIH's affiliated organization in Haiti, is the country's largest health care provider outside of the government. ZL serves a direct catchment area of 1.2 million people in primary care alone and nearly 3.9 million with secondary and tertiary care. ZL's more than 5,000 staff members, including 2,300 community health workers, provide health and social support services through 17 hospitals and health centers in the Central Plateau and lower Artibonite regions. ZL's key health services include primary care, maternal and child health care, HIV and tuberculosis services, and more advanced secondary and tertiary care. Throughout the escalation in violence in recent years, ZL has done everything possible to provide a stable presence in the communities we serve, continuing to provide expert care across these and other clinical areas. Each year, two-thirds of the clinical services ZL delivers globally are provided to women and children-with more than two million health visits and deliveries each year. In Haiti, our innovative Journey to 9 Plus (J9) program accompanies women and their newborns with constant care and support throughout pregnancy and the first year of the…

While leading efforts to care and treat Ebola patients and contain the spread, PIH made a long-term commitment to support the government in revitalizing the country's health sector and improving access to care for millions of Sierra Leoneans. Since that time, PIH has led targeted programming to radically improve health outcomes at PIH-supported Koidu Government Hospital, Wellbody Clinic, and eight additional facilities throughout the country, with a particular focus on maternal health. Today, in partnership with the Government of Sierra Leone, PIH supports 10 health facilities and works across eight districts to build systems that protect every Sierra Leonean's right to health, especially those most vulnerable to sickness and injustice. With a team of over 900 staff members, 94% of whom are Sierra Leonean nationals, PIH's model utilizes a public-private partnership with Ministry of Health, leveraging Kono District as a model for the provision of integrated, patient-centered care across all levels of health care delivery.…
$31,890,884 spentof which $17,344 as grants15% of program spendingThe University of Global Health Equity (UGHE) is a first-of-its-kind global health sciences university pioneering a new approach to education. Based in Rwanda, PIH launched this international university in 2015 with the mission to radically change the way health care is delivered around the world by training generations of global health professionals who strive to deliver more equitable, quality health services for all. UGHE graduates emerge ready to tackle the world's most pressing health challenges. Africa's health workforce bears 24% of the global disease burden but represents only 3% of the world's health workers. UGHE is designed to bridge this critical gap by training a new generation of leaders equipped to strengthen health systems and develop innovative clinical approaches. One key initiative is UGHE's partnership with Rwanda's ambitious 4x4 program, which aims to quadruple the number of health workers within four years. UGHE's flagship degree programs revolve around community health and social medicine. Students master social determinants of health, accompanying underserved patients, and delivering care in low-resourced communities. UGHE has graduated public health…

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 2021 to 2022, from $178M to $280M (+58%).
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 24% · 2018 22% · 2019 21% · 2020 20% · 2021 48% · 2022 22% · 2023 12% · 2024 11% · 2025 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
97% of PARTNERS IN HEALTH A NONPROFIT CORPORATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (1% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 265 funders to 484 funders, grant income rose $28M → $114M.
134 of 1183 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 56% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $119M from 3 payers (an institutional transfer, not a grant programme, largest Corabelle Lumps Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money PARTNERS IN HEALTH A NONPROFIT CORPORATION raised.
From the IRS filings of PARTNERS IN HEALTH A NONPROFIT CORPORATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 1183 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
PARTNERS IN HEALTH A NONPROFIT CORPORATION has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 20% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
59% 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 IN HEALTH A NONPROFIT CORPORATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 22% · 2018 20% · 2019 22% · 2020 20% · 2021 16% · 2022 43% · 2023 35% — 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
49% of PARTNERS IN HEALTH A NONPROFIT CORPORATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 59% 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
57% of PARTNERS IN HEALTH A NONPROFIT CORPORATION'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 $267M that is directly attributable, 81% of it comes from funders outside Massachusetts, across 48 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $349M arriving through sponsors registered in 38 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.
