What World Pediatrics does
Mission
World Pediatrics' mission is to heal children and advance pediatric healthcare in the world. World Pediatrics' program model is built upon long-term engagement and continuity of multi-specialty care through direct patient care and local capacity-building programs. World Pediatrics is treating children in the present while helping to build a stronger system for children in the future.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
World Pediatrics assisted 64 children from 17 countries with access to advanced hospitals outside their countries for tertiary medical care. World Pediatrics also mobilized 28 children from 10 countries to advanced centers within the latin america and caribbean regions for surgery or specialist care in 8 pediatric sub-specialties, or for access to advanced medical imaging. World Pediatrics facilitated 68 surgical and diagnostic teams to 9 countries in latin america and the caribbean, providing 845 surgeries and 3,378 consultations/evaluations to nearly 2,800 children. World Pediatrics' global neonatal program mobilized 15 training teams, 3 conferences, and 3 observerships in the caribbean and latin america regions. World Pediatrics' programs collectively provided 4,357 training hours to 2,592 trainees. Finally, World Pediatrics supported sponsorship of 660 children for access to available medical care in their home countries, removing barriers to access in their local health systems through financial support and advocacy.

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 2023 to 2024, from $4.3M to $6.0M (+42%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 5% · 2021 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
101% of WORLD PEDIATRICS’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (97% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 40 funders to 56 funders, grant income rose $1.3M → $1.3M.
27 of 154 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 39% 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 PEDIATRICS’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 154 funders by total. 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 PEDIATRICS has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 12% of grant income, and it takes 7 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 7 funders to its left
55% 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 PEDIATRICS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 35% · 2018 25% · 2019 25% · 2020 30% · 2021 23% · 2022 12% · 2023 15% — 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
44% of WORLD PEDIATRICS's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 66% 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
WORLD PEDIATRICS draws 85% of its grant income from funders outside Virginia, across 19 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $4.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 20 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 PEDIATRICS's funding base is broadening — from 40 funders to 56 as grant income climbed.
