What Village2village Project Inc does
Mission
To provide comprehensive, empowering, respectful and compassionate care for Uganda's vulnerable children and their families, one life at a time. Our vision is to transform children with stolen futures into tomorrow's leaders. We believe that lasting change is made when loving individuals invest deeply into the life of each child to help them reach their potential and make a positive impact on their communities.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
In January 2025, the Village2Village Education Centre/Primary School officially opened on both the Village2Village Uganda's Serere and Kateta campuses. The school year in Uganda begins at the end of January with three terms that finish at the end of November, and they began serving kids in Primary 1 through Primary 4. The motivation to open a school was a result of the Covid-19 shutdown when Ugandan schools were closed for two full years. The V2V Ugandan staff quickly got government permission to "homeschool" the then 180 students. They hired 25 out of work teachers and sent them on bicycles to the 25 different villages where our sponsored kids were living. The kids were able to invite all their siblings and neighbors that they mixed with. Nearly 800 children were saved from two years without education, and the children's national test scores were the best in V2V's then 18-year history. The key to the children's success was the individual attention. The educational system in rural Uganda has been under significant stress as the young population grows fast. One teacher can be expected to teach more than 90 children in a Primary One class. Since they often go without pay, that single teacher isn't even in class 19% of the time. The children were not getting the instruction they needed, even when enrolled in private schools. When schools reopened, the children struggled more without the attention. It was time to take the step of beginning a school in order to give the children…
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
Child Sponsorship Program: Village2Village Project encircles orphaned and vulnerable children with love, dignity, accountability and hope through a team of caring staff, the child's extended family, and like minded friends. This love is combined with the commitment of a sponsor who provides them with letters of encouragement, nutritious meals, needed medical care and an excellent education. We build relationships with children and families one at a time - seeing them as individuals with the untapped potential to change their communities. The children served are from Serere, Uganda; a northeastern district of rural villages which has the lowest achievement scores on primary standardized testing in the nation. Village2Village Project has two campuses in different subcounties in Serere, which has a population of 350,000. Our program serves more than 250 children and young adults from preschool through University level, providing social and spiritual mentoring and daily casework support in an effort to transform children with stolen futures into leaders. Village2Village Project also builds the capacity of their guardians to provide and care for them and for the other children in their…

$162,489 spentof which $15,000 as grants31% of program spendingEmerging Leaders Program: Students who complete secondary school at the Ordinary or Advanced level are able to apply for professional or university studies. Caseworkers visit, monitor and support these students, and quarterly gatherings are arranged. These students pursue such careers as medicine, law, nursing, education, engineering, plumbing, agriculture, electrical, and fashion and design/tailoring. Several university students also help with the primary and secondary program during school breaks, and an effort is made to give them projects that relate to their course of study. These students are encouraged also to be involved in charitable projects that serve the wider community. Alumni of the program gather at least annually, and often give support to younger students, their families, and each other.
$119,037 spent22% of program spendingHOPE Ministry/Guardian Support Program: Village2Village Project provides essential medical care, nutritional support and counseling for seriously ill parents and grandparents of our sponsored children, and helps more than 1,700 children avoid the loss of yet another beloved caregiver. V2V guardians' groups also provide business and agricultural training, group agricultural projects, child care discussions, micro-loans, and savings circles that help lift entire families to a more secure level. Guardians meetings are held monthly, and guardians' groups meet autonomously as often as they wish to work on projects. Guardians also receive casework support when they are having difficulty with a child or any other family issue. Home visits are conducted with and without the sponsored child present. In emergency decisions, the staff works with the child's entire clan. For those children with special medical needs, including HIV/AIDS, specialists are accessed, medication is monitored and every effort is made for the child to live as healthy and normal a life as possible. In times of crisis, such as flood, famine, or a global pandemic, the organization provides emergency items for the entire…

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 2022 to 2023, from $53k to $99k (+87%).
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 VILLAGE2VILLAGE PROJECT INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 5 funders, grant income rose $12k → $27k.
7 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 94% 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 VILLAGE2VILLAGE PROJECT 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
VILLAGE2VILLAGE PROJECT INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 37% of grant income and the top three 82%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
94% 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 VILLAGE2VILLAGE PROJECT INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 88% · 2020 90% · 2021 88% · 2022 65% · 2023 63% — 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
75% of VILLAGE2VILLAGE PROJECT INC's funders are still giving 1 year after their first grant; 50% 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
94% of VILLAGE2VILLAGE PROJECT 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 $9k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Indiana, across 3 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $150k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
