Overview
Mission
Creating and maintaining a global membership organization that will educate its members and the general public about pressing global challenges and contribute to innovative policy solutions and international cooperation. The Good Country seeks to change the culture of governance worldwide from one that is fundamentally competitive to one that is fundamentally collaborative and to have a global system and culture in which political communities are more highly valued for being principled and effective collaborators than for achieving independent success.
What it reported doing in 2018
Between September 2018 and January 2019, the Good Country enrolled nearly 3,000 members from over 150 different countries, and recruited over 100 volunteers to support the Good Country's outreach efforts. The Good Country launched the first version of its online platform in September 2018. The organization then conducted a 200+ member needs assessment for the next version of the digital platform, and completed a technical specification for the next version of the website in January 2019. The Good Country's directors participated in over 20 different conferences, convenings, and meetings to discuss global challenges and the potential for the Good Country to contribute to potential poliy solutions to these challenges with leading policy experts, policymakers, academics, philanthropists and business leaders from around the world.
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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work.
