What World of Difference Inc does
Mission
Projects at World of Difference are focused on one or more of our three program pillars - agriculture, education and health -- in communities in Africa that are under-served. Many of our projects involve volunteers from the U.S. partnering in-country with our African neighbors to accomplish specific goals and objectives for sustainability. Having acquired land in Malawi in 2022, WOD has spent time and resources designing and implementing plans for how this land will be used to accomplish our strategic objectives. Many of our objectives directly impact individuals and families in the 14 villages that surround us.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Land development and staple crops: WOD desires to build capacity in our Malawi team for them to lead out in the various initiatives where we hope to have impact. WOD added two key members to our Malawi management team in 2024 including an administrative officer, and a macadamia / agricultural specialist. WOD again employed local community members in short-term / temporary assignments to assist in the implementation of these agricultural projects. The harvest from staple crops of ground nuts, soya, and maize (500 lbs, 1.8 tons, and 2.2 tons respectively) were used in feeding programs with several of our partner organizations and schools, as well as supplementing the resource needs of our agriculture team. The macadamia tree farm was expanded by preparing additional acreage by clearing trees and vegetation and leveling the soil. Holes were dug for an additional 4000+ tree seedlings which will be planted during the rainy season. The goal remains that this will become our source of operational sustainability in the outyears.Agriculture projects: Malawi is ranked 174 out of 189 countries in terms of poverty and relies heavily on agriculture, which employs over 80% of the population.

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $463,202.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 $1.2M to $2.4M (+102%).
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.
40% of WORLD OF DIFFERENCE INC’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue 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 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
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $100k → $1.5M.
3 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 97% 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 WORLD OF DIFFERENCE 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
WORLD OF DIFFERENCE INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 50% of grant income and the top three 99%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
99% 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 WORLD OF DIFFERENCE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 99% · 2021 99% · 2022 99% · 2023 97% — 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
97% of WORLD OF DIFFERENCE 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 $94k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Utah funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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
WORLD OF DIFFERENCE INC holds deeper cash reserves than three-quarters of the 4,524 international nonprofits its size.
