Overview

Mission

Employing research, advocacy, activism, and education, gpahe works to combat the rising tide of global hate and extremism across borders by holding social media and technology companies accountable for the hate speech and disinformation that spreads from their platforms; exposing the racist, bigoted, anti-lgbtq+, xenophobic, anti-woman, and other harmful ideologies of groups and individuals that sometimes inspire violence against vulnerable communities and erode democracies; advocating for inclusive policies to support vulnerable communities; and working in coalition with global allies to curb the rise of far-right extremist activities and promote inclusive democracies. Educating the public, policymakers and social media and tech companies on the dangers of far-right extremist ideologies is crucial to effecting change, reducing bigotry, and creating culture shifts toward a more inclusive society.

What it reported doing in 2024

Gpahe released several reports and written pieces documenting the bigoted and harmful activities of individuals, groups and the politically powerful providing public information and resulting in the enforcement and/or change of tech company policies protecting lgbtq people, religious minorities, black and brown people, women, and immigrant communities. Advocated for the implementation of policies that would protect our citizenry from domestic terrorism. Provided public information on how to protect our active-duty and veteran service members from recruitment efforts of far-right and racist groups. Provided guidance and support to individuals and groups across the us and globally on how to recognize and counter bigotry, hate crimes, discriminatory policies, the global rise and spread of far-right extremism, and the hallmarks of authoritarianism.

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 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.

The verdict

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
