Overview

Mission

Documenting and amplifying innovative, women-centered climate change initiatives around the world.

What it reported doing in 2025

The program conducted 12 oral history interviews with activists creating solutions to climate disasters and climate injustice. These activists live in chile, bangladesh, guatemala and malawi.

Operating model

Revenue model: Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model: Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
