What Peoplelink does
Mission
To create a global neighborhood by forging the links that sow the seeds for world peace and understanding. To bring foreign students to the united states for a cultural exchange for periods of one week to one year.
As stated on its FY2019 Form 990.
Program
Peoplelink brings students from japan, china and canada and places them in homes in the us and canada for short 3-4 week and year long cultural exchange programs. These programs include english classes, full day trips and cultural activities.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.
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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $12k to $0 (−100%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 3 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.
