Overview

Mission

To provide the expertise, thought leadership, guidance, and framework that advocacy network builders need, helping organizations and movements unlock the power of networks to achieve their goals.

What it reported doing in 2024

Programs to mobilize advocacy networks that empower people to catalyze change. Great movements move the world forward, and our fractured times call for a new way to empower movements. By equipping people with training and resources and aligning them around a common vision, our team brings people together to effectively tackle complex issues.

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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
