  • Adoption Assistance & Advocacy: -We funded 26 Say Yes adoption grants in 2025. -33 more children came home in 2025 with the help of our grant bringing our total to over 160 families. -Our grants will impact children with multiple special needs from 8 countries - Bulgaria, Colombia, India, Liberia, Poland, Taiwan, Uganda, and USA. -We continued our role as an official Family-Match FRO (Family Recruitment Organization) in Palm Beach County and beyond to connect interested families with adoptable children in our foster system. -We participated in the No More Orphans experience, attracting many open hearts to the plight of vulnerable children and provided resources through our ARISE program.

  • Medical Intervention for Orphans, continued - We embarked on our largest scale project to date - refurbishing the pediatric ward of St. Joseph Kitovu Hospital in Masaka, Uganda. By years end, the construction phase was 100% funded and 75% complete. This renovation will change the trajectory of care for vulnerable children in an impoverished rural area.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
