What Partnership for Indigenous Peoples -Pipes - International does
Mission
We are a global Christian organization committed to partnering with indigenous peoples, local churches, and community-based organizations to make disciples of Jesus Christ and help end extreme poverty. We serve indigenous pygmies, vulnerable children, and struggling families in some of the world's poorest and crisis-affected regions, where war, hunger, and disease have created deep needs. Our ministry shares the love of God and brings hope through practical and spiritual support. We provide education and nutritious meals for children, equip local leaders, and promote sustainable community development. Our impact includes outreach to more than 20 schools in Kenya, equipping over 300 farmers with training and seeds, supporting over 40 women with sewing skills, and supporting more than 1,300 students with educational needs, primarily in Kenya and DR Congo.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
One of the major program areas has been the construction of a multi-purpose center designed to host discipleship, training, and empowerment initiatives. Located in Kenya, the center serves not only the Maasai community but also neighboring regions, creating a space where people can grow spiritually, gain practical skills, and experience holistic transformation. This integral program center aims to foster community development, promote unity, and equip individuals to become agents of positive change in their communities.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
DISCIPLESHIP: PIPES is committed to helping people find and follow Jesus through evangelism, Bible teaching, and intentional discipleship programs. Our mission is to strengthen believers, equip leaders, and build Christ-centered communities that continue to grow long after our teams leave. Each year, we mobilize short-term and long-term mission teams from the United States to Africa and Asia. These teams partner with local churches and leaders to share the gospel, teach the Bible, and encourage believers to stand firm in their faith. Ministry activities include evangelism school outreaches, leadership conferences, youth and women's seminars, and specialized training sessions for pastors and community leaders. In 2024, we launched our internship program, giving university students an opportunity to volunteer for a full year of hands-on ministry experience. These interns serve in schools, children's homes, and rehabilitation centers, sharing the hope of Jesus Christ with young people. They mentor students and youth, offer spiritual encouragement, and guide them in making wise academic and career decisions. Through their service, young leaders are being shaped into strong Christian…

At PIPES, we are deeply committed to serving vulnerable populations-especially those experiencing poverty, limited opportunities, and financial hardship. We support community-driven initiatives that reduce suffering and promote sustainable development among indigenous and low-income communities. By equipping local leaders with practical skills, resources, and ongoing training, we help them take ownership of long-lasting transformation within their own communities. Our empowerment initiatives include farming and food security programs, small business development, savings groups, vocational and sewing skills, jigger treatment, health awareness, and insurance premium support for vulnerable households.. In 2024, we trained and equipped more than 300 farmers with seeds, tools, and agricultural practices to improve household food production and income generation. Additionally, we provided water to 500 people among the Maasai in Kenay, we supported 50 women with sewing and vocational skills in Rwanda, Burundi and Pakistan-empowering them to provide for…
$99,564 spent27% of program spendingEDUCATION: PIPES is committed to empowering youth and students by increasing access to quality formal education-one of the most effective pathways out of poverty. In 2024, we completed the construction of an elementary school on Idjwi Island in the Democratic Republic of Congo, serving grades one through six. By December 2024, more than 300 children had already enrolled. This new school provides a safe, stable, and nurturing environment where students can learn, grow, and dream of a brighter future. The students receive a hot meal three times a week. We partner with schools across Africa and Asia to strengthen education, improve learning outcomes, and support vulnerable students. Through our child scholarship program, we help children who would otherwise have no opportunity to attend school, ensuring they receive the education they deserve. Across our various programs, PIPES currently supports more than 1,300 students in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, enabling them to access classrooms, learning materials, meals, and mentorship. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, we partially support the salaries of 30 teachers who play a critical role in educating the 1,300 children under our…

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income fell $16k → $16k.
3 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

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
PARTNERSHIP FOR INDIGENOUS PEOPLES -PIPES - INTERNATIONAL leans on a few funders — its largest provides 57% of grant income and the top three 100%; 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 PARTNERSHIP FOR INDIGENOUS PEOPLES -PIPES - INTERNATIONAL.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 72% · 2019 100% · 2020 80% · 2021 61% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Where its funders are
100% of PARTNERSHIP FOR INDIGENOUS PEOPLES -PIPES - INTERNATIONAL'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $187k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
