Overview

Mission

Production of international documentary programming and educational and vocational video guides

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025, ICGC continued and expanded its fiscal sponsorship of several local and global communications-related projects. One leading project among them was a six episode docuseries called Indigenous Wisdom. We also continued to sponsor community organizations such as Lagim Tehi Tuma in Ghana and In Cultured Company in Washington Heights, New York, which focus on media skills training, designing accessible educational tools and resources and cultural exchange.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
