Overview
Mission
Girltrek is a public health organization that encourages neighborhood walking for disease prevention and to extend life expectancy. To this end, girltrek works with a coalition of partners to support its members in receiving life-saving services and (see schedule o) collectively supporting systems and policies that extend life expectancy in their communities.
What it reported doing in 2025
Talk: when women walk together, in their crews, girltrek provides resources, toolkits, and media via the app that trains crew leaders and support crews to walk together. Sisterhood saturday is a nationwide day of solidarity for members. This national and local solidarity moment creates space for connection, conversation, and celebration of the health milestones members reach. During the monthly membership meeting broadcasts, data and stories are shared. Crew leaders also have the opportunity to get certified in mental health first aid.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 95% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% 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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
