Agape is Donor Funded

Each year we rely on charitable donations from our supporters to provide the funds needed to house, feed, educate and provide medical care to our nearly 250 AIDS orphans. 

No staff outside of India are paid - all of Agape's donor relations, sponsorship management, and financial tracking are performed by volunteers in the U.S. Every dollar that is donated has a real and measurable impact on the orphans in our care.

This table shows our total expenses relative to our annual contributions in recent years.

YE March                     2017            2018           2019          2020          2021

Contributions      $320,039   $517,025    $540,934   $758,761   $1,218,892

Expenses             $350,950   $411,975    $432,288   $491,857       $463,136

Net Surplus       ($30,911)  $105,050    $108,646   $266,904       $755,756

As the chart above indicates, the largest part of Agape's budget is spent on housing, followed by the cost to run our school from preschool through high school. Administration expenses are for staff involved in the day to day running of Agape in India. The smallest category of spending is fundraising, which is composed primarily of fundraising materials and the annual dinner in Boston. 

Agape AIDS Orphan Care is too small to be rated by charity rating agencies, but based on their criteria, Agape would be consistently be rated "A-" to "A+" in terms of operational efficiency. We are committed to financial transparency and publish our audited financial statements and Form 990.

Truly, every dollar that is donated to Agape AIDS Orphan Care has a real and measurable impact on the orphans.
