What The Filter Project does
Mission
The Filter Project is a parachurch ministry whose mission is to pour Gods love into under-resourced communities through the gift of safe, filtered, drinking water in Kenya and plan to serve into additional countries in the future.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The Filter Project provides filters to people in Kenya to remove harmful bacteria, protozoa, parasites, cysts, eggs, and microplastics from unclean drinking water. The filter lasts for over 20 years or one million gallons of water and contains no replaceable parts and requires no professional servicing. The Filter Project also provides financial support to indigenous workers who live in the community in which the filters are being placed.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2024, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2024, 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 2024 to 2025, from $176k to $198k (+13%).
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 The Filter Project’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. 0 of the last 2 reported years ran a deficit.
