Key notes

What the numbers show

Revenue growth

Revenue grew by more than 60% in 2025, largely through increased grant funding, with Nia Tero Foundation noted as the main donor.

Scaled operations

IKI expanded staffing, consultant teams, sub-grant agreements, and support to fellow CSO and NGO partners.

Capacity investment

Expense growth reflects intentional investment in people, partner sub-grants, operations, and governance systems.

Improved financial health

IKI moved to a larger surplus in 2025 while scaling operations, partly because some activities were delayed.

Future preparedness

Governance and financial systems are being strengthened to manage increased responsibilities and portfolio growth.

2026 outlook

The 2026 budget anticipates slightly lower revenue than 2025 actuals, controlled expenditure growth, and a planned surplus.
