Overview

Mission

New Wave Feminists is a prolife advocacy organization supporting the rights of women, minorities, the LGBTQIA community, and all vulnerable and marginalized people groups. We travel around the nation taking a message of consistent life ethics where ever its needed the most.

What it reported doing in 2024

Last year, along with our education initiatives on college campuses, we were able to help mothers in practical ways with grants as well as a large donation drive to the border, which consisted of supplies and donations for families leaving detainment in Texas.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 51% for direct work, and 49% for grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
