Overview
Mission
The mission of Look What SHE Did! is to inspire women and girls to greatness by bringing to light stories of remarkable women who have changed the world. We create short films and host events featuring female storytellers celebrating women who inspire them, freely offering our library of inspirational stories to the be viewed, discussed and enjoyed.
What it reported doing in 2024
For 2024-25, Look What SHE Did! filmed 10 interviews with women talking about the trailblazing women from history who inspired them; 5 of these women were Olympians. We released 10 world premieres from our film collection to our audience of more than 75K viewers. Additionally, we completed our second year of a new program, Look What SHE's Doing! for women filmmakers over 30, which took place on the campus of Mt St Mary's University, the only women's college in Los Angeles. 12 women were chosen to participate in the program, 60% of whom were Women of Color. Our filmmaking program employed more than 10 professional filmmakers, of whom 90% are female, and 45% identify BIPOC or LGBTQ+. Through our partnerships and distribution platforms, our films were viewed more than 300,000 times- all at no cost to the public.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 93% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
