What Peruvian Hearts does
Mission
Peruvian Hearts works to end poverty and gender inequality by educating girls and creating women leaders in Peru. We enable young women to embrace education and to believe in their own power and abilities to dream and create a better life beyond the conditions into which they were born.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Peruvian Hearts scholars program provides 40 impoverished young women in Peru with full educational scholarships to attend universities in Peru. We provide our scholars with access to mentors, opportunities for empowerment and to participate in service work. The young women we support come from families with extremely limited economic resources and all of them have dealt with hardship. In addition to academic scholarships, we provide our scholars with access to regular medical exams and cover any healthcare needs while they are in our program. We give our scholars access to a program psychologist, academic advisor, personal and professional mentors, and civic and community leaders. We put a particular emphasis on the personal growth and character development of each of our scholars, in addition to finishing their degrees at university.

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 2020 to 2021, from $594k to $672k (+13%).
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: 2020 3% · 2021 0% · 2022 0% · 2023 0% · 2024 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
94% of PERUVIAN HEARTS’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (83% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 6 funders to 10 funders, grant income rose $105k → $221k.
7 of 24 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 30% 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 PERUVIAN HEARTS’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
PERUVIAN HEARTS has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 25% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
41% 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 PERUVIAN HEARTS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 48% · 2018 44% · 2019 48% · 2020 48% · 2021 30% · 2022 26% · 2023 23% — 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
50% of PERUVIAN HEARTS's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 58% 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
PERUVIAN HEARTS draws 65% of its grant income from funders outside Colorado, across 11 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $656k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
Against its field
PERUVIAN HEARTS holds deeper cash reserves than three-quarters of the 5,688 youth development nonprofits its size.
