Overview
Mission
The no woman, no girl initiative provides hope, essentials, and education to women and girls in the triangle area, regardless of the circumstances of life. Our organizational values are: humanity - we believe that every woman and girl should be treated with basic humanity and dignity, regardless of their circumstances or barriers; outreach - we believe in doing the work outside of our own space and serving our community in tangible ways; partnership - we believe in creating long-term partnerships with businesses, agencies and other nonprofit organizations rather than transactional relationships; eagerness - we believe that everyone who serves should serve with an eager heart to see our mission grow and make an impact.
What it reported doing in 2024
As of 2024, the no woman, no girl initiative served 4,303 women, girls and families experiencing a crisis or transition in 1 year. The organization has served a total of 7,775 individuals and families since it's founding in 2021. The no woman, no girl initiative provides hygiene products through 2 primary programs that serve over 15 partnering agencies across the triangle area. In 2024, the organization expanded it's mission from serving the triangle area to the state of North Carolina through grassroots efforts to hurricane helene. Within 72 hours, the organization began responding to one of North Carolina's most devastating natural disasters by mobilizing local efforts with partnering agencies, corporate groups and collaborating with municipalities. Additionally, in 2024, the no woman, no girl initiative successfully launched its inaugural girls summer institute which provided 10 high school girls the opportunity to engage in 3 days of enrichment, leadership development and relationship building. The young ladies were pinned and recognized as girls alumna while being encouraged to continue to remain engaged with the organization's mission throughout the high school and college experiences.
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 the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
