01What it does

What Social Promise Inc does

Mission

At Social Promise, we have chosen to help the vulnerable people of northern Uganda because we met them, they asked for our help, and we knew we could respond. Social Promise supports critical health and educational resources serving impoverished Ugandan communities. By promoting awareness, we seek to empower other people and institutions to support these vital humanitarian efforts. Conveying the achievement and promise inherent in these efforts, we hope to inspire a community dedicated to a spirit of altruism.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Partnership with Lacor Hospital (Healthcare) In 2024, Social Promise supported Lacor Hospital, where patients from across northern Uganda made over 180,000 visits for care. Our funding ensured children with sickle cell disease had access to diagnosis and treatment, contributing to Lacor's recognition as a Center of Excellence for sickle cell care. Funding also sustained maternal, pediatric, and infectious disease services, reinforcing one of sub-Saharan Africa's largest nonprofit hospitals.

  2. Partnership with St. Jude Children's Home (Education and Care) In 2024, Social Promise funded education for 41 children from St. Jude Children's Home, with most attending secondary or technical schools and several in university. We also covered salaries for 13 caregivers who staff the family-style homes, ensuring stable, nurturing care. In addition, we provided daily school lunch for an average of 520 students and teachers at St. Jude's primary school, and we supported a project to expand opportunities for children with disabilities, strengthening St. Jude's commitment to holistic care for every child.

  3. U.S. Partnerships in Education and Engagement In 2024, Social Promise engaged U.S. K-12 students in projects on global health with a focus on Uganda. High school girls researched sickle cell disease, raised funds, and educated peers before visiting Uganda, where they connected with children at St. Jude and toured Lacor Hospital. After returning, they continued awareness projects in their schools and communities. This work builds knowledge and leadership among U.S. students while reinforcing Social Promise's global mission.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $2k → $3k.

2 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 19% 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 SOCIAL PROMISE 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

SOCIAL PROMISE INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 34% of grant income and the top three 84%; half comes from just 2 funders.

“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

50% of SOCIAL PROMISE INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 42% give in more than one year at all.

first grant+1y+2y+3y+4y

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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $6k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.

These figures are read directly from IRS Form 990 / 990-PF e-file XML: this organization’s own return for FY2024 (financials across 2017–2024), and the filings of 12 funders that report grants to it. “On record” means captured in the filings we have parsed — a funder that does not e-file, or whose grant detail is not itemized, will not appear. Filings run roughly 12–24 months behind. Trends on this page end at FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving; later years are shown and marked, and move no figure.
