    Expenses $385,598 · Grants $355,911

  • 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. Our ARISE meetings and consultations are available to the local South Florida community, and our hope is that the mission will spread as we strive to bring authentic voices into the conversation.

    Expenses $186,652 · Grants $117,508

  • Medical Intervention for Orphans: -We launched our Hearts of Hope cardiac program in partnership with Upasuaji International creating an unprecedented pathway for in-country care and provided cardiac interventions for six vulnerable children in Uganda. -We funded a hypospadias repair for an orphan. -We funded critical care for Josiah in Uganda, a little boy who was near death. -With our Uganda partners, who saw a continued surge of abandoned and malnourished babies, we provided life-saving baby formula and supplements for 25 babies through our Nurtured Hearts program. -Ann Bartlinski, our Director of Orphan Care and Medical programs traveled to Uganda and carried essential supplies in her luggage, including tins of infant formula. Ann was able to follow up on cases from previous years.

    Expenses $139,983 · Grants $118,748

  • Meeting Basic Needs, continued - We provided toys for 105 children in Ugandamany receiving a toy for the very first time.

  • Adoption Assistance & Advocacy, continued - We continued our partnership with Childrens Home Society (CHS) in Palm Beach County, providing recruitment events for adoptable children in the foster system, where prospective families could attend and participate. We celebrated local adoptions again by providing Welcome Home gift cards to 14 children adopted from foster care into 11 families on National Adoption Day in November.

  • 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.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. 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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
