Mission
Hope for the Future helps children in Romania overcome poverty by making education possible. Many grow up in families facing extreme poverty while others have lost parental care altogether. We step in with practical aid like groceries medicine school supplies and utility help that removes barriers to school and protects childhood. We also partner with childrens homes where orphaned or abandoned kids find love belonging and stability and we support after-school programs serving both Romanian and immigrant refugee children in Romania. Guided by our Christian faith we work through local volunteers and organizations to deliver practical help and long-term support. All U.S. work is volunteer keeping overhead low and impact high.
Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

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 Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.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.
