What Tanzania Water Fund does
Mission
Develop community water projects in the region of Singida, Tanzania. Drill deep water wells and surround the projects with education for kids and teaching farmers the benefits of irrigation. We also help to establish water councils with representation from both women and men in each village. This carries on in partnership with local governments.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
The village of Kinyeto has used additional funds to get running water into the medical clinic for the first time. They have also used access to water to have the tools to create concrete blocks which allows them to more easily build a maternity ward so that women don't have to walk home the day of giving birth. The community plot of land also is an example to show others visually the benefits of irrigation.
$48,100 spent33% of program spendingThe village of Songa is similar in the benefits of our water well and community development project. One unique thing about Songa is that the well is on site at the primary school which allows the children to have a school provided lunch. As well as a vegetable garden on school premises!
$48,200 spent33% of program spendingThe village of Mumbii is also benefiting from our water well & community development project. We are proud of the work they are doing to educate kids on the importance of clean water & sanitation so that they can teach their parents.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2022 to 2023, from $71k to $177k (+148%).
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. 1 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.
Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income rose $10k → $35k.
4 of 4 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 TANZANIA WATER FUND’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
TANZANIA WATER FUND leans on a few funders — its largest provides 82% 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 TANZANIA WATER FUND.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 99% · 2021 99% · 2022 100% · 2023 71% — 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.
Where its funders are
100% of TANZANIA WATER FUND'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $166k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
