$0 spentYouth education around human trafficking the Banu Foundation, in partnership with the washington, dc police foundation, internet crimes against children (icac), and the metropolitan police department (mpd), held human trafficking educational sessions at schools in underserved neighborhoods of washington, dc. Two sessions were held: march 25, 2024 at stanton elementary school, and june 3, 2024 at harriet tubman elementary school, both in washington, dc. Approximately 125 students, and 15 teachers and school administrators attended the sessions. The vast majority of youth are unaware of the realities of human trafficking and are therefore susceptible to this crime. Additionally, trafficking cases involving children are increasingly difficult to prove because youth victims are unaware that the occurrence constitutes a crime. Therefore, this programming is designed to immediately educate children and teenagers so they can recognize, avoid, and report human trafficking to law enforcement and trusted figures. The longer-term goal is to reduce instances of youth human trafficking in low-income neighborhoods.

$0 spent
The 3 programs described on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $0.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 2023 to 2024, from $76k to $10k (−87%).
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.
100% of BANU FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.
Leadership and staff
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 1 funder, grant income rose $60k → $120k.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 BANU FOUNDATION’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.
Where its funders are
100% of BANU FOUNDATION's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $245k 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.
