Overview

Mission

#MeWeIntl's programs design and deploy community trainings and tools that use communication skills building to advance the psychological wellbeing, leadership development, and community engagement of vulnerable and at-risk youth and parents.

What it reported doing in 2024

#MeWe International, due to funding challenges, had to cut staff and community grants. Funds received in 2024 were unrestricted and used to support staff time, travel, and community projects focused on communications skills-building for mental health and psychosocial support, as well as leadership development. Despite the challenges, our trainings, programs, and events reached over 900 people in 2024 with community programming and community mental health and communication skills events across the Middle East, North America, and Latin America. Grants from Porticus, For Freedoms, and individual donations helped to support curricula development, travel, and in person community facilitation and capacity building trainings for refugees, displaced persons from war, vulnerable youth, high school students, and caregivers and front-line workers in the Middle East, Latin America, and North America. Special community events, called Stories Are Living Things, also toured North America, reaching communities and arts and mental health practitioners in Georgia, California, and New York. Our organization received a TIME Magazine news feature, including the licensing and distribution of 3 short documentaries about MEWE International's global reach.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 97% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
