  • OTHER PROGRAM ACTIVITY

    Expenses $144,719 · Grants $37,617

  • Girls Access to Education (GATE): Provides scholarships to girls who are at-risk or are survivors of violence in order to keep them enrolled in school. Our goal is for these girls to attend school through the third year of high school, and further if possible.

    Expenses $127,768 · Grants $127,768

  • SKILLS TRAINING FOR EMPLOYMENT (STEP): Skills Training for Employment seeks to reduce poverty by providing income-generating skills to those who most need them. Women learn tailoring and men are taught electrical and mechanical skills. Without this ability to earn greater income, these women and men would remain in poverty, eking out a living on $4 per day as daily wage earners.

    Expenses $62,745 · Grants $62,745

  • CATALYST: Through full scholarships (covering tuition, food, residence, utilities, class fees, and a daily allowance) of approximately $1,800 per girl, per year, the CATALYST program carries on the work of GATE by seeing through our long-term investment in girls education by helping to rebuild the intellectual class that was completely decimated by the Khmer Rouge only a generation ago.

    Expenses $46,249 · Grants $46,249

  • EQU+: The EQU+ after school program serves children of migrant laborers by enrolling them in school and providing evening bridge classes to ensure they keep up at an age-appropriate level. The program also engages parents and seeks to establish formal relationships between parents and the schools.

    Expenses $37,297 · Grants $37,297

  • LOCAM: Operating support for Lotus Outreach Cambodia programs

    Expenses $32,829 · Grants $32,829

  • Rice 4 Education: Provides rice support to poor village families with girls in scholarship programs in Cambodia keeping the most vulnerable from dropping out of school.

    Expenses $29,240 · Grants $29,240

  • Getting Wells: This program installs water wells that serve entire villages in drought prone regions of rural Cambodia, as well as providing education to recipient communities regarding water sanitation and hygiene.

    Expenses $22,788 · Grants $22,788

  • BLOSSOM BUS:The Blossom Bus provides vehicles driven by trustworthy drivers to safely deliver young women to secondary school and college. We currently transport over 650 girls to secondary school and 40 young women to college. Until proper secondary schools and colleges become available to all villagers, the Blossom Bus aims to provide transportation to girls and young women at this transitional stage, leading the way in establishing female education as a norm rather than an anomaly.

    Expenses $22,779 · Grants $22,779

  • Khemar Pre-School: Provides early childhood development for the neediest children through games, nutrition, and education.

    Expenses $19,000 · Grants $19,000

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.
