Overview

Mission

To provide the world bank group employees and retirees with an opportunity to support nonprofit organizations that work to improve the quality of life of people and communities.

What it reported doing in 2025

The primary financial activity of the world bank community connections fund (wbccf) in fiscal year 2026 was the allocation of funds designated to its wbccf general fund via the world bank group's annual workplace giving program - the community connections campaign (ccc). The wbccf board of directors awarded a total of $550,000 in special grants to five nonprofit organizations on the ccc list, which are public charities exempt under IRS section 501(c)(3). Wbccf did not derive any revenue such as fees for services or sales of goods directly from this activity.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
