What We Ignite Nations does
Mission
We Ignite Nations (win) is a christian humanitarian organization empowering communities to overcome poverty and injustice with sustainable win-win solutions.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Ekklesia & empowerment: three of the big five factors that contribute to poverty are apathy, dependency, and dishonesty. Thats why win begins with ekklesia - the local church equipping communities with the win foundation - a strong identity and life-giving biblical values. These foundations allow all, regardless of faith or creed, to move from dependency to sufficiency, from apathy to incentive, and from dishonesty to trustworthyness. The result is a real transformation that lasts and multiplies! Win identifies communities which are suffering extreme poverty, illiteracy and other areas of lack, then empowers the local people to bring about radical, lasting improvements.

Prevention is far better than waiting until after children have been abused. Drama is an excellent way to communicate a powerful message into the hearts of simple rural parents and their children. Wins drama team travels village to village warning how traffickers trick villagers with the pretext of marrying their daughters to rich, unknown individuals in big cities. Such marriages are only a trap. These brides find themselves in brothels. The drama team also teaches against other moral evils such as alcoholism and domestic abuse.

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 $143k to $357k (+149%).
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 WE IGNITE NATIONS’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 5 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
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 8 funders, grant income rose $6k → $265k.
4 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 33% 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 WE IGNITE NATIONS’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
WE IGNITE NATIONS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 34% of grant income and the top three 75%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
68% 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 WE IGNITE NATIONS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 100% · 2022 67% · 2023 45% — 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.
Where its funders are
WE IGNITE NATIONS draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Colorado, across 5 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $234k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
Against its field
WE IGNITE NATIONS has grown faster than three-quarters of the 21,616 human services nonprofits its size.
