Programs
Source of Life Ministries has been working in Haiti since 1999. It is our vision to meet the various needs of the people of Haiti. Two new children were added to the orphanage/school program. This year construction of the guest house began.The community feeding program continued to reach people outside the gates. Also, the first high school graduate completed schooling.
$201,938 spent$265,140 earned by the program40% of program spendingStarted in 2007, Restoration Gateway (RGL)exists to join Christ in restoring peace and healing wounds among the vulnerable children and war torn people of Northern Uganda. 700 acres of land overlooking the Nile is being developed into a holistic, reproducible community through orphan care, health care, empowerment and ministry to the church. 100 orphans are cared for in small individual family style units with 8-10 orphans under the care of a house mother in each. An on-site school provides both primary and secondary education. A community church provides Christ-centerd ministry to the orphans and staff of GRL. The hospital at RGL has approximately 100+ beds with large outpatient, operating room,lab and x-ray facilities as well. This facility is becoming the hospital of choice for the people in the surrounding districts. It is nearer to many of these people and increases the bed capacity in the area by nearly 50%. Medical, nursing and allied healthcare students will soon be able to receive supervised training.

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.
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 $116k to $0 (−100%).
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 ThirstySouls Ministries Inc’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. 3 of the last 8 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 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income rose $36k → $44k.
5 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 96% 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 ThirstySouls Ministries 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
ThirstySouls Ministries Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 56% of grant income and the top three 93%; 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 ThirstySouls Ministries Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 67% · 2018 92% · 2019 100% · 2020 88% · 2021 99% · 2022 100% · 2023 66% — 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
96% of ThirstySouls Ministries Inc'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 $14k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Pennsylvania, across 1 state.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $341k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
