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 253884 225420 0 Student Sponsorship. Ndoto's student sponsorship program supports education and discipleship in Kenya. Through Ndoto's grants to Ndoto Kenya, 312 students were sponsored in 2025. 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. Donations to the student sponsorship fund, through sponsorships in honor of specific students, go to support the entire operations of Ndoto in Kenya. 100% of sponsorship fund donations go to Kenya. 237040 221132 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. 125 students were enrolled in 2025 in three preschool grades and grades 1-3. 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. The majority of US-side expenses toward Ndoto Academy were toward Campus Dream, the project to build the Ndoto campus that will support the entire operation into the future. In 2025, the majority of construction was completed for a 3-story, 12,000sqft building, and a parcel of land was purchased. 53060 1842 5830 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 2025, Ndoto hosted 37 visiting missionaries in Kenya. This included family of the executive director, a mission team from a partner church, a vision trip made up of donors, a spiritual care ministry seminar, a boxing group, and a family trip. These visiting missionaries performed many very valuable tasks on the ground in Kenya and returned blessed by what they had seen and done. 25573 11649 0 Ndoto Sports. Ndoto Sports replaces the Development program service for now, as it is the primary means of community development at present outside of Ndoto's other programs. 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. Ndoto Sports encompasses Ndoto Soccer Academy, which is multiple youth and adult soccer teams of both genders, some of which play competitively in the official league. It also includes Ndoto Boxing, which is the premier boxing club in our area of the country. It also includes Ndoto Gym, which has become a strong pillar of our community with weightlifting, cardio, and boxing. All of these programs provide an opportunity to reach young men and women who cannot be reached by Ndoto's other programs. They are exposed to discipleship opportunities, mentorship, coaching, and receive a "home away from home" where they finally fit in. Ndoto Sports further provides some youth the avenue to pursue a career in athletics, which would not have been possible before. 7564 331 0 Emergency Relief. This program service replaces Student Emergencies, as it serves the community more widely. Ndoto is prepared to provide above-and-beyond support of any kind to sponsored students, athletes, Academy students, church members, and more who face emergencies in their lives. Meeting immediate and critical needs is a necessary part of working in a slum, where our Kenyan staff can quickly identify emergencies that we should step into as opposed to challenges that the community can meet on its own. In addition to regular small cases, Ndoto helped to provide for a student surgery and care for three individuals who had major deaths in the family. 33137 11980 0 577121 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 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 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 88562 0 2166 John Seale Director of Operations 40 X 60481 0 1871 Ken Towe Board Chair and Treasurer 2 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 Deanna Carrillo Board Member 1 X 0 0 0 Ashley Bayless Board Member 1 X 0 0 0 149043 0 4037 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 732559 875 732559 Visiting Missionary Program 900099 5830 5830 0 0 0 0 0 0 5830 18683 0 0 18683 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Refunds, rebates, and reimbursements 900099 115 0 0 115 0 0 0 0 115 757187 5830 0 18798 0 0 0 0 460374 460374 0 0 156920 64274 60618 32028 0 0 0 0 37625 17500 13781 6344 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 14574 5544 6162 2868 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5375 0 5375 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1678 102 0 1576 10230 21 10136 73 5616 1209 2019 2388 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 34681 27408 5641 1632 0 0 0 0 1151 0 1066 85 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2963 593 148 2222 0 0 0 0 Staff Development & Training 1246 96 1150 0 732433 577121 106096 49216 15310 108546 402063 294953 0 0 7820 67839 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 197 7031 14815 13087 4691 1728 126688 101006 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 556769 581103 996 576 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 996 576 X 209288 162125 346485 418402 555773 580527 556769 581103 24754 0 0 0 0 0 X 1 X 0 1 0 X 382598 435817 562669 442732 732559 2556375 0 3600 0 0 5830 9430 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 382598 439417 562669 442732 738389 2565805 48015 56870 51291 47068 245158 448402 0 0 0 0 0 0 48015 56870 51291 47068 245158 448402 2117403 3264 5398 19246 26459 18683 73050 0 0 0 0 0 0 3264 5398 19246 26459 18683 73050 0 0 0 0 0 0 -565 -584 478 611 115 55 385297 444231 582393 469802 757187 2638910 0.80238 0.86590 0.02768 0.02599 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 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 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 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. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 Ndoto makes all governing documents available upon request to any individual. Electronic copies are maintained and available in electronic or hardcopy format upon request. Its conflict of interest policy is also available in electronic or hardcopy format upon request. Its financial statements are hosted on Ndoto's website, GuideStar, and are available in hardcopy or electronic format upon request. Organizational documents filed with the State and Federal government are also available on the Ndoto website along with annual reports.
