Overview

Mission

Empower.Women Rising Productions champions the storytelling of inspiring female voices around the world. Our fund powers the rising of history in the making: lighting the way for women and girls one new heroine at a time.

What it reported doing in 2021

GRABBING BACK - FUNDED A DOCUMENTARYFed up with Trumps presidency, black women across America, like Jahana Hayes, are mobilizing to run for office and use their vote to change the course of our country! While they are a powerful force, we see that these formidable black women dont necessarily have the support of the status quo Democratic Party. The documentary film/series Grabbing Back (working title) will shine a light on these trailblazing African American candidates and the galvanized voters who are getting off the sidelines to be heard, in the hopes of shifting the Trump trajectory and grabbing back the house in the 2018 midterm elections.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
