Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

The Amani Foundation is a US-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supports at-risk children and families in northern Tanzania through a family-based care model. The organization provides access to education, psychosocial support, and community-based livelihood programs that strengthen household stability and prevent family separation. Programs include school sponsorship, case management, and nutrition-focused initiatives such as small livestock and garden support.

  • The organization supported children in approximately 30 families through direct education assistance, including payment of school fees, provision of uniforms and learning materials, and ongoing case management. Staff conducted regular follow-up with students and caregivers to support school attendance, academic progress, and wellbeing. This program focused on ensuring uninterrupted access to education for vulnerable children and reducing the risk of family separation due to financial hardship.

    Expenses $62,023

  • The organization implemented household-level livelihood programs to support participating families through small livestock distribution and nutrition-focused agriculture. Activities included provision of goats and chickens, establishment of keyhole gardens, and basic training in animal care and food production. These interventions improved household food security and income stability, reducing economic pressures that can contribute to child-family separation.

    Expenses $17,601

  • The organization provided targeted health and wellbeing support to children and families through coverage of basic medical expenses and monitoring of child health outcomes. Assistance included payment for clinic visits, medications, and emergency care housing when needed. These services helped ensure that children remained healthy and able to attend school, while reducing financial strain on caregivers and supporting stable family environments.

    Expenses $6,468

As filed on the 2025 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

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.
