Programs are designed to foster and deliver sustainable development solutions to alleviate poverty in Africa through education. In the U.S., the foundation aims to enhance education in schools and colleges to create global awareness through authentic engagement with Africa running partnership programs such as pen-paling and hosting Peace Corps Volunteers in Uganda. School-Feeding Program: Meals prepared onsite by MCF trained cooks to provide nourishment 5 days a week to elementary school children in all seven grades. 0 21167 Public Library and Literacy Program: MCF operates the only public library in rural western Uganda, providing books and educational resources to students, teachers, and community members. The library employs a full-time librarian and hosts university-level librarian interns annually. The children's section contains over 600 titles in the library and another section with stored books supports Katushome, a mobile library serving 2,000 children in five rural primary schools. Additional programs include book clubs, reading initiatives, and volunteer opportunities for MCF scholarship students. Served over 400 total patrons in 2024. 0 1724 Women In Support of Education Program (WISE): WISE microfinance program issued new loans to women who are mothers in the foundation's partner schools to build their rural business enterprises while pledging to keep their children enrolled and attending school. 0 2000 The Global Fellow Program (GFP) provides secondary school scholarships to students who have been beneficiaries of our primary school meal programs. Having supported these students through primary education (7 years) with daily nutritious meals, the program addresses the critical transition point where many rural students are unable to continue their education because of cost and family economic pressures that require them to contribute to household income. Each year the foundation adds children to the GFP. Selected Fellows receive school fees, educational materials, uniforms, attend boarding school, and ongoing academic support, tutoring and an annual field trip to visit other parts of the country. 0 11504 36395 Anita Mpambara Cox President 3.00 0 Jim Rotholz Board Member and Vice President 1 0 Dan O'Brien Board Member 1 0 Arthur Hill Acting Treasurer and Secretary 1.5 0 Michael Musimenta Country Director 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MD Mpambara Cox Foundation Inc 16928 Briardale Road Derwood MD 20855 2027663458 1 UG 1 UG 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 27550 25600 31675 25750 48974 159549 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 27550 25600 31675 25750 48974 159549 159549 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 159549 1 1 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 8 Description;Amount^Refunds;27^Total;27^ Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Furniture and Decoration;1158|Meals and Entertainment;427|Memberships and Dues;63|Office Supplies;246|Software Fees;318|Travel Expense;5771|Website Maintenance;26|Telephone Wireless;972|Program Expense;36395^Total;45376^ Mpambara Cox Foundation Inc. is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) public charity with no paid staff in the United States. All officers, including the Treasurer responsible for preparing this return, serve on a volunteer basis, and our charitable programs operate overseas. The late filing for tax year 2025 was due to circumstances reasonably beyond our control. Our Treasurer was unavailable during the standard preparation window due to extended travel, and the return depends on program-expense documentation transmitted from volunteer counterparts overseas, which took longer than anticipated to compile and reconcile. Total gross receipts for the year were approximately $49,000, the substantial majority disbursed directly to charitable programs. The Foundation accepts full responsibility. To prevent recurrence, we have set an internal preparation deadline 60 days ahead of the IRS due date and designated a backup officer to coordinate filing in the Treasurer's absence and delays in compiling programmatic cost information from Africa. The Foundation remains fully committed to ongoing compliance.
