Overview

Mission

To provide access to international human rights mechanisms through high quality defense and advocacy. To render international legal services to defend human and civil rights of victims of human rights violations. To educate students, government agencies and civil society on the use of international human rights law.

What it reported doing in 2024

In 2024, Global Rights Advocacy advanced its mission of defending human rights by serving the community and students through educational workshops, mentorship, and providing pro-bono human rights defense to those who cannot afford it. We provided training in civic engagement and human rights, supported Latino community, and amplified their voices in DC, NY, Europe and in the US. These efforts strengthened resilience, empowered future leaders, and ensured that resources directly advanced our exempt purpose.

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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
