Programs
Christian Family Sponsorship CFS This program provides regular financial support to families in need in Egypt. The service is available to the poorest of the poor and it helps to provide families with the access to meet their basic needs such as food, clothing, shelter, health and education. It pairs up a Christian family in Egypt with a donor from the United States based on their level of need. The donor commits to making monthly payments to meet these needs. The program undergoes periodic assessments to help make decisions on the eligibility of beneficiary families and to follow up on their progress.
$3,577,257 spent33% of program spending1- Good Samaritan - This is a small loan funding program that is intended to help individuals and families in Egypt to start small businesses in order to secure a steady income. Borrowers apply for small non-interest bearing loans. Their proposals are then evaluated, and successful applicants receive the loan. They are usually granted a short grace period before they start to repay their loans. Repaid premiums circulate into a revolving fund to create opportunities for others. 2- Diocesan Development Projects These are community development projects that are implemented in partnership with local dioceses. The supported projects are targeted toward the eradication of poverty in certain areas. The projects maintain a broad diversity of purposes and cover numerous areas of development such as provision of clean water, vocational training, health care, education, orphanages, day care centers, child care programs, disability centers, youth centers, life skills training, etc.

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 2023 to 2024, from $7.2M to $8.1M (+12%).
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 SANTA VERENA CHARITY INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (96% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 9 funders, grant income rose $61k → $297k.
7 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 96% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
SANTA VERENA CHARITY INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 59% of grant income and the top three 89%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
96% 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 SANTA VERENA CHARITY INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 82% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 42% · 2021 47% · 2022 63% · 2023 65% — 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
80% of SANTA VERENA CHARITY INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 73% 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
96% of SANTA VERENA CHARITY 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 $55k that is directly attributable, 93% of it comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.5M arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
