Mission

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Coffee project: help train and equip coffee farmers and entrepreneurs in the coffee market in ethiopia to grow better crops and maximize their value. Senai helps find buyers and partners around the globe that will support rural farmers in ethiopia and all proceeds go to fund further training and coffee projects.
$71,247 spent9% of program spendingEducation: senai is involved in various education initiatives in ethiopia. Some are at the college level and some are basic education training centers. We want to equip ethiopians with the knowledge needed to become economically sustainable and kingdom focused. These values and education have been able to impact over 200,000 students across southern ethiopia. We connect donors directly with the schools and they are able to visit and see the impact they are having.
$306,467 spent39% of program spendingAfrica vision investment trips: senai wants to ensure donor funds reach the beneficiaries. We host vision trips for donors to visit projects they have funded and build relationships with senai's partners on the ground. It is a multicultural educational trip where donors learn about language, culture, economics, and spiritual practices of people across ethiopia.
$279,555 spent36% of program spendingClean water: senai seeks to bring clean drinking water to remote areas of ethiopia by equipping an ethiopian water team to drill wells.

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 2019 to 2020, from $393k to $120k (−70%).
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: 2020 13% · 2023 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of SENAI INTERNATIONAL INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income fell $55k → $41k.
7 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 90% 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 SENAI INTERNATIONAL 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
SENAI INTERNATIONAL INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 39% of grant income and the top three 84%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders 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 SENAI INTERNATIONAL INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 62% · 2018 60% · 2019 56% · 2020 69% · 2021 100% · 2022 35% · 2023 100% — 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
43% of SENAI INTERNATIONAL INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 36% 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
90% of SENAI INTERNATIONAL 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 $51k that is directly attributable, 69% of it comes from funders outside North Carolina, across 3 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $454k 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.
