What Partners With Ethiopia does
Mission
We support Ethiopian-based organizations working to educate and empower children, women, and communities impacted by poverty.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
We support the H.O.P.E. Sponsorship program of the local NGO we support. We recruit sponsors, manage their donations, and grant the donation to the NGO. In 2024 over 230 children were sponsored. The sponsorship funding we grant ran three project sites that offer the children a 6 day a week drop-in program. Children receive a daily meal, hygiene supplies monthly, and educational supplies for school throughout the school year, a school uniform, supplemental clothing/shoes, and medical care as needed. The funding pays for all the services to the children, it pays the facility rent for the drop-in center, and covers the salaries/expenses of running the program and having staff. Additionally, 170 more children who were unsponsored participated in the program.

We sent funding to them for their administrative use, and education, and food support. We also provided them with a grant for their women's empowerment program that was used for income generating activities for women giving them training and support to find a job or start a small business. We also provided funding for them to open a free daycare center for the women to use for their children.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2023 to 2024, from $33k to $61k (+83%).
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 PARTNERS WITH ETHIOPIA’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
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
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 6 funders, grant income rose $149k → $169k.
5 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 98% 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 WITH ETHIOPIA’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 WITH ETHIOPIA leans on a few funders — its largest provides 51% of grant income and the top three 98%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
98% 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 WITH ETHIOPIA.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 93% · 2020 66% · 2021 91% · 2022 91% · 2023 88% — 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
75% of PARTNERS WITH ETHIOPIA'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
98% of PARTNERS WITH ETHIOPIA'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 $20k that is directly attributable, 95% of it comes from Minnesota funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.2M 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.
