What Puente Desarrollo Internacional does
Mission
Puente's mission is to empower communities in the dominican republic by supporting locally led solutions to health, infrastructure, and development challenges. Through training, data-driven decision-making, and collaborative implementation, puente works alongside local leaders to build sustainable, community-owned progress.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Community project implementation: puente empowers local leaders in the dominican republic to address their communities' health and infrastructure needs. Through hands-on training, strategic guidance, and the provision of materials, puente supported the implementation of impactful physical projects. During the fiscal year, we constructed 91 bathrooms, repaired or replaced 50 roofs, and completed one water access project -- directly improving the living conditions of more than 700 residents. All participating households also completed educational courses on healthy practices and proper maintenance of the new systems and facilities.

We develop and maintain mobile technology used by global development practitioners to assess needs and implement targeted solutions in marginalized communities. Orginizations working in areas such as medical missions, water access, literacy, nutrition, and maternal health rely on puente's platform to guide effective and international change. During the fiscal year, over 200 users utilized our technology to collect more than 100,000 data points related to community health and infrastructure.
$24,599 spent$3,074 earned by the program16% of program spendingCommunity development training: since its inception, puente has trained local leaders in the dominican republic to identify and address community needs through sustainable development. Trainings cover topics such as community development, water and sanitation, hygiene, health promotion, maternal health, and gardening. These sessions are led by puente's local staff, who educate their peers on key skills including data collection, project management, excel, grant reporting, community engagement, and stakeholder coordination. Puente's network spans constanza, cevicos, consuelo, barahona, and tireo, where staff oversee all on-ground activities. During the fiscal year, they collected more than 5,000 data records and followed up on prior projects and paitents to evaulate outcomes. In total, over 800 individuals participated in puente's training programs.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2022 to 2023, from $69k to $26k (−62%).
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.
98% of PUENTE DESARROLLO INTERNACIONAL’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $10k → $31k.
6 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 87% 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 PUENTE DESARROLLO INTERNACIONAL’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
PUENTE DESARROLLO INTERNACIONAL leans on a few funders — its largest provides 33% of grant income and the top three 70%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
99% 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 PUENTE DESARROLLO INTERNACIONAL.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 63% · 2022 34% · 2023 48% — 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
60% of PUENTE DESARROLLO INTERNACIONAL's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 75% 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
87% of PUENTE DESARROLLO INTERNACIONAL'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. Of the $30k that is directly attributable, 96% of it comes from funders outside Indiana, across 2 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $200k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
