What Relief South Sudan does
Mission
Faith-based charity dedicated to helping widows and orphans in south sudan.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Relief South Sudan, with funding from Serve the Global Church, facilitated MAST training and launched 45 New Testament translation projects across South Sudan. Out of this, 30 New Testaments were fully completed, providing communities with access to scripture in their heart languages. New Testaments were printed and distributed, placing Gods word directly into the hands of local believers. To expand access further, 30 Old Testaments were fully completed, providing communities with access to scripture in their heart languages.
$158,077 spent88% of program spendingWe have funded trauma healing workshops in Kakuma refugee camp among the south Sudanese refugees. These individuals have fled their home region because of violence, and many of them have lost family members and witnessed acts of extreme violence. These workshops were facilitated by Timothy Ibrahim, a pastor at Kakuma refugee camp.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 $206 to $6k (+2639%).
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.
100% of RELIEF SOUTH SUDAN’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income fell $120k → $109k.
1 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 15% 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 RELIEF SOUTH SUDAN’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
RELIEF SOUTH SUDAN leans on a few funders — its largest provides 79% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 RELIEF SOUTH SUDAN.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 67% · 2022 92% · 2023 85% — 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.
Where its funders are
RELIEF SOUTH SUDAN draws 93% of its grant income from funders outside Colorado, across 2 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $106k 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.
