As stated on its FY2022 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2022 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
The organization has previously only filed Form 990-N, so the programs reported on this Form 990, Part III have not previously been reported on a Form 990. Redemption Song Foundation is not associated with any colleges or universities as per the organization's application for exemption. The organization also conducts programs outside of the United States which have not previously been reported on a Form 990. Redemption Song Foundation provides assistance to individuals in Uganda for charitable purposes, including building and supporting classrooms, providing food relief to parents/women/families affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and providing mentoring services to students of various ages.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $41 → $39.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 Redemption Song Foundation’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.
Where its funders are
100% of Redemption Song Foundation'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $213 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
