Program
While making the difficult decision to wrap up and wind down activities, much of 2023 was spent completing commitments, finalizing projects, and ensuring the sound and legal administrative dissolution of the organization. 2023 accomplishments included: - We hired a Honduran accountant to audit all the organization's financial activities from 2018-2023.- We helped facilitate the transition of the water system construction project in the community of El Suyate with the Danl Rotary Club and Rotary Club International, with efforts were made through SANAA Regional El Paraso to support the community by approaching World Vision and Pure Water for the World. The pre-feasibility studies for the water project were delivered to the El Suyate community. - We helped to repair a rural school in the municipality of Soledad, El Paraso and the construction of school classrooms in Olanchito, Yoro; together with Inversiones Garca with total projects costing more than $3800 USD. - At the Nuevo Paraiso high school, we completed many construction projects, including the improvement of the broiler house area, installation of enclosures for 2 classrooms and construction of the second stage of bleachers…

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $20k to $8k (−57%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $10k → $70.
2 of 3 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 Sustainable Empowerment Leadership Foundation (SELF)’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
Sustainable Empowerment Leadership Foundation (SELF) leans on a few funders — its largest provides 99% 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 Sustainable Empowerment Leadership Foundation (SELF).
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 98% · 2020 100% · 2021 99% · 2022 99% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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
100% of Sustainable Empowerment Leadership Foundation (SELF)'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 $500 that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside California, across 1 state.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $105k 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.
