01What it does

What Petros Network does

Mission

Petros Network equips indigenous leaders to share, show, and spread the good news of jesus among their own people and alleviate spiritual and physical poverty. Entire communities are transformed from places of hopelessness to places of hope.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Program

  1. We practice the two hands of the gospel: sharing and showing jesus with our words and our acts of compassion and care in the horn of africa and se asia share - because 3.62 billion people in the world today have no opportunity to hear the good news, they are facing a christless eternity. Since god is not okay with that, neither are we. Our mission, therefore, is to unleash gospel movements by equipping indigenous spiritual leaders to plant churches within walking distance of every human being on earth. Through 2025 we have planted 9,307 churches, shared the good news with 10,632,178 people and have 1,937,764 people who made decisions to follow christ and have joined one of our new church plants. Show - jesus not only spoke the good news, he showed the good news through his actions. Church planters are taught to become social agents of change. This includes leading initiatives in girl's and women's empowerment, feeding families through agricultural initiatives, child sponsorship, improving healthcare, providing clean water, educating out of poverty, building character through sports. In 2025 we had 988 women and girls were active in our empowerment program, 94 orphans were cared…

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.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 5 funders, grant income rose $164 → $50k.

6 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 39% 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 PETROS NETWORK’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

PETROS NETWORK leans on a few funders — its largest provides 37% of grant income and the top three 83%; half comes from just 2 funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left

39% 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 PETROS NETWORK.

Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 97% · 2022 100% · 2023 80% — 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 PETROS NETWORK's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 50% give in more than one year at all.

first grant+1y+2y

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

PETROS NETWORK draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Oregon, across 6 states in all.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $337k 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.
