What The Sharing Foundation does
Mission
The Sharing Foundation's mission is to help meet the physical, emotional, educational, and medical needs of orphaned and seriously disadvantaged children in cambodia. The goal is to prevent some of the problems of poverty by developing, in consultation with cambodian community leaders, programs to improve the health and welfare of children and their families.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The roteang children's center represents a new standard of hygiene, medical services, nutrition, and compassionate care for children of cambodia. Orphans are admitted without regard for medical diagnosis or congenital abnormalities. The orphanage is home to 66 children and teens, nearly all of whom will remain in the organization's care indefinitely. The organization maintains a montessori-modeled preschool program onsite, serving over 40 children, six days a week. The organization also provides general support for more than 500 children who attend the roteang village public school by donating supplies and uniforms for needy students. The organization built a playground, classrooms and library for the school.

The high school program makes attendance with quality small group instruction possible for approximately 40 students, as well as providing uniforms and supplies. The organization also sponsors university education for approximately 35 high school graduates who pass the national high school graduation exams. The organization rents dormitory space in phnom penh for university students and provides tuition, room, board, furnishings, books, bicycles and uniforms.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2020 to 2021, from $6.5M to $8.4M (+29%).
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.
34% of THE SHARING FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (97% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 6 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
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 10 funders, grant income rose $59k → $125k.
9 of 19 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 69% 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 THE SHARING FOUNDATION’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
THE SHARING FOUNDATION has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 24% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
69% 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 THE SHARING FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 41% · 2018 40% · 2019 32% · 2020 28% · 2021 34% · 2022 33% · 2023 23% — 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.
How long its funders stay
67% of THE SHARING FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 84% 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
69% of THE SHARING FOUNDATION'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 $252k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Massachusetts, across 9 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $558k 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.

These figures are read directly from IRS Form 990 / 990-PF e-file XML: this organization’s own return for FY2025 (financials across 2020–2025), and the filings of 19 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.
