Overview

Mission

StrongHER TogetHER helps girls rise above stereotypes that alienate them from one another and instead grow up to be women who understand the power of their collective strength in the fight for equity. We believe the collective power of girls and women can change the world.

What it reported doing in 2025

Loving Inner Voice and Loving Outer Voice- Positive mental health series designed to promote confidence pride and motivation by helping girls be their own biggest cheerleaders. Teach the girls to rise above negative stereotypes associated with peer relationships between girls and women to understand the complex roots of mean-girl drama and over time embrace the notion of collective power and next-level support for one another. These initiatives build self-esteem and assist in developing positive relationships with other girls and women.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 84% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
