Overview

Mission

Provide for physical and spiritual human needs

What it reported doing in 2025

The hanna project is a christian, non-profit, non-governmental organization which exists to demonstrate compassion for fellow man by identifying and addressing human and spiritual issues and needs wherever they may be globally found. The primary goal is to strive to identify and address human issues and needs which are directly and indirectly related to, but not limited to, the areas of education and health.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and the filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad.
