Mission

The Oda Foundation supports rural communities in the Kalikot district of Nepal, focusing on healthcare, education, and community development. Healthcare: The foundation runs a primary healthcare clinic, providing essential medical services, with a focus on maternal and child health, vaccinations, and malnutrition. Education: It partners with local schools to improve education, providing teacher training and scholarships, with a special focus on girls and marginalized groups. Community Development: The foundation supports agricultural programs to enhance food security and promote sustainable farming. It also works on improving water access and sanitation. The Oda Foundation emphasizes sustainable, community-driven solutions to uplift vulnerable populations in Kalikot.

Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

No independent contractors reported.

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
