Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Shaohannah's Hope's mission is to care for orphans by engaging the Church and reducing barriers to adoption, primarily by providing assistance to adoptive families to address the financial, medical, and knowledge barriers to adoption.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Support children who have been orphaned by assisting adoptive families with financial support and resources

  • Adoption Assistance- As the cornerstone of Shaohannah's Hope's work and foundational to the original mission of our founders, this organization awards Adoption Aid grants to reduce the financial barrier to adoption. Since the organization's inception, Adoption Aid grants have helped more than 9,500 children from 60+ countries, including the U.S., come to know the love and permanency of a family through adoption. During this reporting period, 420 Adoption Aid grants totalling $4,210,000 were awarded to families. Furthermore, this organization provides practical teaching and additional resources to better equip parents, churches, and professionals to support children impacted by adoption and foster care.

    Expenses $5,465,996 · Grants $4,647,000 · Revenue $51,620

  • Adoption Awareness- Shaohannah's Hope engages the Church and mobilizes individuals to care for orphans by making them aware of the needs of children who have been orphaned. This is accomplished by leveraging the brand of the founders and platform of the organization within the faith-based community to conduct concert tours, media campaign events, and to raise awareness. Additionally, Shaohannah's Hope educates and provides resources to individuals, families, and organizations regarding adoption and orphan care.

    Expenses $919,818 · Revenue $105

  • Orphan Care- Shaohannah's Hope is dedicated to raising awareness regarding the needs of children who have been orphaned. Building upon our Care Centers programmatic work in China, Shaohannah's Hope Medical Care grants program was launched in Fall 2020 to further reduce barriers to adoption by financially assisting families with medical expenses for their children welcomed home through adoption. During the current reporting period, 71 Medical Care grants totalling $525,000 were awarded.

    Expenses $736,612 · Grants $524,637

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. 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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

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 11 November 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.
