Impact evidence
Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.
Programs described in its return (1)
- $21 spent. The Myanmar Impact Fund (MIF) was incorporated in April 2021, and in the fifth year of its operations, MIF's program expenses were $21 while its revenues were $1,400. MIF's overarching goal is to alleviate the suffering of the Myanmar people due to the unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe by supporting organizations and individuals providing humanitarian aid to those in need. The organization remains committed to fundraising and implementing program services activities in line with its program objectives and mission. However, it is worth noting that in the fifth year of operations, the size of expenses and revenues of MIF programs remained small. Due to the unique nature of the crisis and the Myanmar diaspora constituting the majority of donors, more donations were made for targeted beneficiaries influenced by their place of origin and/or relationships. (Continued on Schedule O, Statement 1) The Myanmar Impact Fund (MIF) cannot use targeted donations for its own programs and has no right to use these funds or derive any benefit from them (re: 2021 i990 Page 77, Gross Receipts, Gross receipts when acting as an agent). As such, these targeted donations are treated as funds held on behalf of the targeted donation donors, and MIF carries out its humanitarian support activities strictly in accordance with the targeted donation project objectives for a specific category of beneficiaries. MIF follows an accounting system that treats targeted donation receipts as funds held on behalf of donors and records them as payables until MIF provides support services to beneficiaries. Only upon receipt of agreed reports with supporting documents from implementing partners in Myanmar are corresponding expenses recorded as implemented expenditures against corresponding payables. MIF has implemented one targeted donation project during the year: (1) Support to Vulnerable Distressed Persons (SVDP) Myanmar Earthquake, Project 6, delivered $27,095. MIF did not charge any administrative fee or overhead charge on these targeted donation projects. Administrative expenses were paid out of non-targeted donations to MIF's programs. MIF anticipates an increase in program revenues and services as operations develop in the medium and long term.
