What TIP Global Health does
Mission
The Ihangane Project achieves lasting improvements in health outcomes, beginning in Rwanda, by promoting community-driven solutions that strengthen national health systems. The successful solutions we co-create with local communities are shared with the national government.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
E-Heza: TIPs E-Heza Data Solutions is a digital application that can be used on a smartphone or tablet designed by and for the frontline health worker. E-Heza captures essential data at the point of care to improve the health of mother and child by providing frontline health workers with immediate insights to help personalize information and advice, and help the mother track the well-being of her child. That data is automatically linked to the Ministry of Health database, providing timely and accurate data reports for better public health policy decision making. Since 2018, E-Heza has improved quality of care for over 112,000 mothers and children, and by 2023 will reach over 250,000 patients across Rwanda. With endorsement from Rwandas Minister of Health, TIP is working to scale E-Heza throughout Rwanda to serve as a foundation for all of primary care.
$715,489 spent69% of program spendingAheza Fortified Food (AFF): provides consistent, affordable fortified porridge to hospitals, nongovernmental orgs, and community members while subsidizing the cost of free distribution to the highest risk children. Nutrition is an essential component of adequate primary care; health centers have long struggled with stock outs of fortified porridge and commercial products are often too expensive for rural families to access. AFF is a social enterprise established by TIP in 2015 to address stock outs of porridge needed to treat childhood malnutrition. Porridge is sold in bulk to NGOs, governments and social enterprises who then provide the porridge to their beneficiaries for free or low cost. Profits from Aheza sales subsidize the cost of free distribution of porridge to high risk children in Ruli. Since its launch in 2015, TIPs Aheza program has provided over 7 million servings of porridge to over 100,000 Rwandans, 95% of whom are high-risk for malnutrition.
$99,726 spent10% of program spendingWomens Association and Hope Initiative. Hope Initiative: The Ihangane Project is conducting research on the influence of hope on health outcomes. We began by identifying an objective tool for measurement, called the Herth Hope index. We worked with healthcare workers and healthcare recipients to ensure that this index- originally established in the United States- would be valid and reliable in the Rwandan context. We are conducting an in depth analysis of influencers of hopelessness and hopefulness in health care systems and will identify interventions based upon this analysis. Our first objective is to demonstrate the ability to increase hopefulness among healthcare workers and healthcare recipients. Ultimately, we will demonstrate that hopefulness is critical to improvements in health outcomes and that it must be considered in the design of effective health systems.
$90,642 spent9% of program spendingCommunity Health Innovation: We work with over 1000 Community Health Workers, over 6000 farmers, community members and local government across Gakenke District to improve village-level primary health care delivery and to address social determinants of health for the most vulnerable.
$68,271 spent7% of program spendingClinical Care Innovation: The Ihangane Project works with local healthcare workers and the Rwanda Ministry of Health to improve the quality of direct patient care services by ensuring that frontline healthcare workers have the tools they need to successfully deliver primary healthcare. We have co-created tools such as E-Heza Data Solutions, the TIP Education Model and the 5 Pillars of Quality Improvement Framework alongside frontline healthcare workers to overcome barriers and celebrate improvements in processes and health outcomes. E-Heza is a point of care digital health record designed by and for the health care worker, used to improve quality of maternal-child care by making it easier for nurses to do their jobs, for mothers to track the wellbeing of their children, and for ministry officials to receive data in real-time.

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 2019 to 2020, from $108k to $306k (+182%).
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 TIP Global Health’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (51% 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.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 6 funders to 7 funders, grant income rose $136k → $579k.
8 of 21 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 35% 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 TIP Global Health’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
TIP Global Health has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 20% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
40% 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 TIP Global Health.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 37% · 2018 50% · 2019 38% · 2020 37% · 2021 27% · 2022 29% · 2023 43% — growing more concentrated.
“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
43% of TIP Global Health's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 67% 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
TIP Global Health draws 97% of its grant income from funders outside California, across 6 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.3M arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
