What Rayo de Sol Inc does
Mission
Rayo de Sol works with children, adolescents and adults in vulnerable communities in Matagalpa, Nicaragua, where poverty levels are high and social services are extremely limited. Currently, the organization implements five programs, including: Spiritual Development, Educational Quality, Integral Community Health, Youth in Action and Community Development. These programs are designed to respond to the pressing needs in these communities and improve the quality of life of more than 5,000 people. Rayo de Sol currently provides program services in 35 schools and communities in Matagalpa, striving to improve health, education and nutrition services for the most impoverished communities, as well as creating new economic opportunities for adults. This work is done in coordination with local organizations, community leaders and public agencies. Since beginning work in Nicaragua, significant improvements have been documented in nutritional levels, health and hygiene and permanence of children
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Rayo de Sol implements health, education, nutrition and community development programs in vulnerable communities in Matagalpa, Nicaragua. Most notably, program services are provided for more than 5,200 preschool and primary students, which has helped to improve retention and promotion rates. All children receive nutritious meals every school day, which has reduced malnourishment by more than ten percent. Rayo de Sol also offers scholarships for more than 800 high school and university students. This allows them to stay in school and continue their education, since their families cant afford to support their academic efforts. There were also 250 adults that participated in vocational training and small business development courses. This creates new economic opportunities so that families can break the cycles of chronic poverty. The organization treated over 4500 patients at their community clinics and provided program services to a population of approximately 10,000 people.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $749k to $953k (+27%).
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: 2021 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of RAYO DE SOL INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (100% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 8 funders, grant income rose $24k → $356k.
7 of 14 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 88% 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 RAYO DE SOL INC’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
RAYO DE SOL INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 69% of grant income and the top three 86%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
94% 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 RAYO DE SOL INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 67% · 2018 56% · 2019 78% · 2020 71% · 2021 79% · 2022 77% · 2023 80% — growing more concentrated.
“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
71% of RAYO DE SOL INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 71% 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
88% of RAYO DE SOL INC'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 $225k that is directly attributable, 56% of it comes from Georgia funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.7M 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.
