Our mission is to educate, disciple, and develop people and their communities to make their dreams a reality, glorify God, and use their gifts to transform their community. 0 0 297598 263810 0 Student Sponsorship. Ndoto's student sponsorship program supports education and discipleship in Kenya. Through Ndoto's grants to Ndoto Kenya, 305 students were sponsored in 2024. These students were enrolled in schools from kindergarten through university. They received basic school supplies, medical care, and tuition and fees. Ndoto Kenya employs full-time staff to care for the students' spiritual, emotional, social, and physical needs. Ndoto Kenya hosts student retreats, service days, Bible studies, and more for sponsored students. The Ndoto Community Church, and all of its programs, is supported through the Sponsorship program, though it is open to the entire community. The church has hundreds of members in adult worship and children's Sunday School programs. The Sponsorship program also supports Ndoto Sports Academy and Ndoto Boxing & Gym, which are community athletic outreach programs. 33495 23466 0 Ndoto Academy. In 2022, after years of dreaming and a year of planning, Ndoto Academy opened on the organization's campus in Obunga. Ndoto Academy is a private Christian school that began with 3 early childhood grades and intends to add one grade per year until it covers through grade 9. Ndoto Academy features small class sizes, creative and passionate teachers, a computer lab, the best playground in town, and an intentional pastoral program of age-appropriate discipleship. 100 students were enrolled in 2024. A majority of Ndoto Academy expenses are covered by tuition revenue, and Ndoto has the school on a path to complete, un-subsidized financial sustainability by 2029. 15037 256 0 Visiting Missionary. Visiting missionaries are an important part of Ndoto's work in the US and in Kenya. Travelers from the US serve several important functions. They are valuable volunteers on the ground in Kenya. They help to transport supplies across continents. They encourage Ndoto's students, particularly when sponsors get to meet the students they are matched with. Visiting missionaries is also an important part of Ndoto's development work, as travelers who aren't already Ndoto supporters often return home as new supporters. They become ambassadors for Ndoto, sharing the word about the good work being done. In 2024, Ndoto hosted 9 visiting missionaries in Kenya and began laying the groundwork for many more in 2025. 44702 32039 0 Development. Ndoto's third objective is development. If people in the community are able to access stable jobs that pay a living wage, then many of the challenges facing the community will disappear. Therefore Ndoto Kenya works to create sustained economic development in two ways: starting businesses directly and providing training and support for existing business leaders in the community. In 2024, Ndoto's main direct economic development came through its own programs, which are now providing more than three dozen direct jobs. The majority of the Development expenditures were related to Ndoto Sports, which encompasses over 100 students involved in soccer, Ndoto Gym with weightlifting equipment and aerobics, and Ndoto Boxing, with a growing and competitive program. The heart of community development is building assets that the community didn't have before, and Ndoto Sports has been a tremendous benefit to the community. 3338 327 0 Student Emergencies. Ndoto tracks expenses for student emergencies as a separate program area from normal student sponsorship, as it is funded separately. Ndoto is prepared to provide above-and-beyond support of any kind to sponsored students who face emergencies in their lives. In 2024, Ndoto did not have any major student emergencies, but provided for several students in small ways and made some contributions to other community organizations serving similar goals and families in need. The majority of the expenditures are related to staff time. 48040 32366 0 394170 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 3 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 X 6 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X X X John F Seale 2145634499 PO Box 701716 Dallas TX 75370 Allison Schlack Executive Director 40 X 65523 0 3767 John Seale Director of Operations 40 X 64266 0 1711 Richard Cockcroft Board Chairman 1 X X 0 0 0 Ken Towe Board Vice-Chair and Treasurer 1 X X 0 0 0 Roxane Malecek Board Secretary 1 X X 0 0 0 Richard Ray Board Member 1 X 0 0 0 David Schroeder Board Member 1 X 0 0 0 Susan Damiano Board Member 1 X 0 0 0 129789 0 5478 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7730 0 0 431047 0 438777 0 26459 0 0 26459 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3955 7730 7918 -3963 0 -3963 Refunds, rebates, and reimbursements 900099 611 0 0 611 0 0 0 0 611 461884 0 0 23107 0 0 0 0 319898 319898 0 0 138767 62209 30544 46014 0 0 0 0 6808 0 6808 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10717 4580 2748 3389 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5125 0 5125 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5354 20 0 5334 10566 570 8970 1026 2650 781 1275 594 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 17565 5519 8056 3990 0 0 0 0 1442 0 1161 281 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2963 593 148 2222 0 0 0 0 Staff Development & Training 980 0 980 0 0 0 0 0 522835 394170 65815 62850 23046 15310 383257 402063 0 81757 7820 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 58706 197 14815 10124 7654 4691 121279 126688 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 675699 556769 4335 996 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4335 996 X 223397 209288 447967 346485 671364 555773 675699 556769 -60951 0 0 0 -54640 0 X 1 X 0 1 0 X 421474 382598 435817 562669 442732 2245290 0 0 3600 0 0 3600 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 421474 382598 439417 562669 442732 2248890 47779 48015 56870 51291 47068 251023 0 0 0 0 0 0 47779 48015 56870 51291 47068 251023 1997867 5599 3264 5398 19246 26459 59966 0 0 0 0 0 0 5599 3264 5398 19246 26459 59966 0 0 0 0 0 0 -1522 -565 -584 478 611 -1582 425551 385297 444231 582393 469802 2307274 0.86590 0.86697 0.02599 0.01667 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 12 Column A: Other income consisted of miscellaneous rebates and refunds and exchange rate gains and losses.

The two organizations entered into a formal agreement at the beginning of 2016. Ndoto fundraises in the US and grants money to NdotoKE. The Board of Directors of Ndoto approves an annual grant amount, based on a recommendation from NdotoKE, and the amount is disbursed monthly as needed by NdotoKE up to but not exceeding the total approved amount. The total grant amount is recorded in Board actions as well as in the organization's bookkeeping. As the Executive Director of Ndoto is the Board Chair of NdotoKE, information about the activities, including financial records, of NdotoKE are freely shared with Ndoto. NdotoKE carefully vets the recipients of its aid, and stays in close contact with those beneficiaries throughout their time with the organization. No money is ever given to beneficiaries or their families directly. All expenses are documented carefully. When these funds are used in Kenya, there are clear and well-followed procedures to ensure transparency, honesty, and the correct usage of funds. Substantial cash is rarely on hand in Kenya, and the organization follows a proper division of roles to demonstrate that no fraud or loss has taken place. Details on the vetting and monitoring process of NdotoKE, as well as the transparency and accuracy procedures of NdotoKE's financial recordkeeping, are available upon request. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b This Form 990 is prepared annually by the chief financial officer, then reviewed carefully with the bookkeeper and the Executive Director. Once it has been completed, it is distributed to the Ndoto Board of Directors, who review it and approve it by vote prior to its submission to the IRS. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c The voting and non-voting members of the Board of Directors, including officers and key employees of the organization, are required annually to sign a statement indicating that they are aware of no conflict of interest arising within the past 12 months and that if any conflict of interest arises in the next 12 months, they will immediately disclose any such activity and seek to end the conflict. The statement also includes a form asking them to disclose specifically any business transactions with Ndoto, indebtedness to Ndoto, personal benefits received from Ndoto, legal proceedings involving Ndoto, and family or business relationships with other officers or directors. The Chair of the Board shall determine whether an unacceptable conflict of interest exists and arrange with the party to cease any inappropriate activity. If the Chair has potential conflict of interest, the Vice Chair and the Secretary shall determine if the unacceptable conflict exists and arrange for it to cease. Unsettled matters shall be reported to the Board for appropriate action. Any inappropriate activity must cease or their position must be vacated. Any violations of the conflict of interest policy must be documented prior to any transaction. A transaction may be taken when a conflict of interest exists if: (a) the officer or staff of Ndoto is excluded from the discussions and approval, (b) a competitive bid or valuation exists, and (c) the Board of Directors determines that the transaction is in the best interests of Ndoto. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 The Executive Director is responsible for setting the salaries of all employees at Ndoto. The Executive Director will consider the education, experience, value added, and performance of the employee in setting salaries. In evaluating the value added by the employee, the Executive Director will consider to what extent the organization needs the services to be offered and the size of the employee's responsibility. Special qualifications of the employee may be taken into account. Employee salaries must be considered in relation to the salaries of other employees at Ndoto, as well as regularly considered in relation to the salaries of comparable positions at comparable charitable organizations. In offering raises, the Executive Director shall evaluate employees and give the employee feedback about their performance. Raises beyond a cost-of-living increase may be offered based on the following qualifications: high-quality performance, expansion of responsibility, or expansion of capacity including new education. In evaluating raises, the Executive Director will consider cost of living as well as a comparative compensation guide. The Executive Director is not obligated to offer any raise or cost-of-living adjustment to employees. The initial salaries of all employees are documented in the employment agreement, and future adjustment to salaries is documented on a standard form that provides a rationale and is signed by the Executive Director and the employee. In evaluating the compensation of the Executive Director, the Board will be led by Christian ethics to address compensation issues and establish an appropriate compensation level. General factors to be considered in establishing adequate compensation include: commitment, education, experience, responsibility, and performance. Appropriate non-profit organization compensation data is identified and utilized to help ensure alignment with similar positions in similar non-profit organizations. The desired end product of any compensation calculation and decision will be an appropriate and adequate level of total compensation, not the size of any year-to-year change. The initial salary and process for determining the salary is documented by the Board of Directors and the salary is documented in the employment agreement. Any future adjustments to salary are documented by decision-making process using the same standard form as the employees, signed by the Board Chair. This process is followed annually in December when the compensation of the Executive Director is set.
