Mission
EMPOWERING NATIONAL LEADERS TO BRING LASTING CHANGE IN THEIR COMMUNITY.
-
Community Outreach and Training: Even encouragers need encouragement. Our community leaders work tirelesslyoften in near-hopeless situationsserving families, children, widows, and vulnerable communities affected by poverty. To sustain their work, they need ongoing encouragement, training, and resources. This year, we hosted empowering and uplifting conferences in India, Nepal, Thailand, Peru, and Ecuador, equipping our leaders with tools for more effective community service. Volunteers from the USA joined us to teach, lead medical camps, and organize childrens programs, working alongside our community leaders to bring hope and practical help to those in need.
Expenses $406,944
-
Community Transformation Projects: One of AIMs key strategies is to stand alongside our GCH Caregivers and community leaders by launching transformation projects in the countries and communities where we serve. These projects not only meet urgent needs but also help families stay connected to education and long-term development. Some of our 2024 community transformation highlights include: Drilling four clean water wells in communities facing water scarcity. Distributing 500 warm blankets to children living in homes without proper heating. Providing monthly financial aid to three elderly widows. In Manipur, India, distributing 305 school uniforms and 100 school supply kits to children affected by ethnic violence. Building a home for an educator who became a refugee due to the violence. In Nepal, distributing 60 warm jackets, 200 shirts and trousers, and 100 sets of womens winter clothing to those in need. In Thailand, providing $800 worth of pigs, chickens, and fish to families for small-scale livestock and aquaculture projects that promote self-sustainability. All these initiatives were made possible through the sacrificial and generous donations of our supporters. We are deeply thankful and profoundly grateful for every donor who answered the call to give and make the world a better place.
Expenses $272,374

Giving Children Hope GCH: Our Giving Children Hope (GCH) child sponsorship program helps disadvantaged children stay in school and build a brighter future. This is the flagship initiative of Alpha International Ministries (AIM). Currently, more than 802 children are part of the program across India, Nepal, Tanzania, Ecuador, Thailand, and the Philippines. In many developing countries, children often drop out of school after the 8th grade to work and support their families. Through GCH, we encourage families to think long-term and resist the pressure to sacrifice education for immediate needs. Although this can be very challenging, our trained and dedicated Caregivers work tirelessly to keep children in school. For example, in Thailand we serve children and families fleeing the decades-long conflict in Myanmar. For these families, securing daily sustenance is often the top priority, making education seem like a distant dream. Our Caregivers do an incredible job ensuring these children remain in school rather than entering the labor force. Each GCH child receives free tutoring, school uniforms, books, shoes, nutritious meals, and toiletries to promote health and personal hygiene.

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.
