01What it does

What Phandeeyar Foundation does

Mission

Phandeeyar is a community tech hub that is spearheading the development of Myanmar's tech and social innovation ecosystem. Phandeeyar does this in two ways: firstly, by building the pool of tech talent, supporting local digitally-enabled enterprises, and training founders; and secondly, by helping change agents use technology to increase the impact of their work.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Phandeeyar Services. Phandeeyar is building the pool of local technical talent and digitally enabled enterprises that can develop the digital products and services that Myanmar needs. We support promising businesses, and through our flagship projects help aspiring entrepreneurs to launch their companies.

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.

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 PHANDEEYAR FOUNDATION.
