The organization operates under the tax-exempt category for international, foreign affairs, and national security areas, specifically international relief, as classified by the National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities (NTEE)[1].

History and Activities

The organization was granted tax-exempt status in August 2012. Although specific historical details are limited, No Poor Among Us has been involved in various humanitarian projects, particularly in Mozambique. These projects include educational initiatives and infrastructure development for disadvantaged communities.

Key Projects and Partnerships

One of the notable initiatives of No Poor Among Us is its collaboration with other organizations to improve educational infrastructure in Mozambique. In partnership with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, they have worked on replacing makeshift classrooms with brick-and-mortar buildings. This effort has significantly improved educational access for over 2,340 students across several schools in Mozambique[4][5].

The organization also focuses on empowering women and girls through educational and self-sufficiency programs. The Boane Women's Center serves as a pivotal hub for these activities, offering educational resources and skills training[3].

Leadership

Josh Phillips is a key figure in the organization, serving as the Managing Director. He has extensive experience in humanitarian work, particularly in Mozambique, where he previously served with his wife Kristen, managing educational programs and coordinating relief projects[2].

Financials

No Poor Among Us primarily relies on contributions for its revenue. In fiscal year 2017, contributions accounted for 99.3% of its total revenue, with a small amount coming from investment income[1]. The organization maintains zero liabilities, suggesting efficient financial management[1].

Despite its efforts in Mozambique and elsewhere, the organization is not listed in the IRS's most recent list of tax-exempt organizations, indicating potential updates or reviews may be pending[1].
