Overview
Mission
To support programs that feed vulnerable children.
What it reported doing in 2025
FEEDING: We make grants to Ubuntu Mundo (an NGO operating in South Africa) that feeds 1,500 children a day. It operates a garden and 2 kitchens that serve nutritious meals, 5 days a week, to children living in poverty in rural South Africa. Our grant in 2025 provided meals for 142 of those children for the entire year.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
