$408,980 spent$119,665 earned by the program70% of program spendingAmplifying southeast asian voices in the global discourse about development and sustainability - southeast asia contributes just 6% of the world's carbon emissions, yet it is the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. The devastating impacts of floods and droughts across the continent have significantly threatened food security and social stability. Southeast asian voices and solutions to climate change mitigation and adaptation are largely absent owing to systemic causes and market pressures, with global north narratives on climate change taking precedence in southeast asia's media ecosystem. The partnership between rbf and cgsp aims to remedy this problem by centering local voices, local experts, and local solutions in the discourse about sustainability and development that are now vitally important in southeast asia.
$61,455 spent11% of program spendingAmplifying iplc voices in the nickel mining discourse in indonesia - with almost 60% of the world's nickel reserves, indonesia is at the center of the global competition for critical minerals. While all that nickel will help usher in a new era of cleaner energy and transportation, out of sight, millions of people are bearing an enormous cost to make this transition possible. Nickel extraction is a violent process that exacts massive costs on the environment and the millions of people who live near the mines. While there is growing awareness of the ecological and health damage wrought by critical resource mining, key voices are too often missing from the discourse. Mining companies, the government, and even automakers have been very effective in shaping the narratives, particularly in the news media, around nickel mining in indonesia. Rarely, though, do the perspectives of people who live closest to the mines receive meaningful coverage. This initiative aims to change.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $813k to $1.3M (+58%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2022 1% · 2023 0% · 2024 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
90% of AMAZWI GLOBAL’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (63% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income rose $250k → $255k.
1 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 8% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of AMAZWI GLOBAL’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
AMAZWI GLOBAL leans on a few funders — its largest provides 47% of grant income and the top three 92%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 80% · 2023 61% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
AMAZWI GLOBAL draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Michigan, across 2 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $100k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
