What Courage Worldwide Inc does
Mission
To provide homes and resources for children who have been recovered from sex trafficking worldwide so they begin their unique journey of healing and be a courageous leader in the global anti-trafficking movement.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
A key purpose of CWW is to build homes for victims of sex trafficking so their unique needs are met in a safe, loving, family environment. We refer to these homes as Courage Houses. These houses provide a comprehensive, holistic approach for the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of these traumatized young victims. We advocate for their rights within the child welfare and juvenile justice systems so they can be free of stereotypes, labels, and undeserved punishment. If necessary, we intervene in unsafe family situations so they can be free of unhealthy generational tendencies and addictions. We equip, encourage, and empower them to face their perpetrator in court, testifying to the torture they endured, so they can be set free from fear, intimidation, and manipulation. We provide tools and services to help rescue them from their own negative thought patterns and emotions. We provide education, therapy, babysitting, mentoring and many more resources to assist in their journey of healing.CWW is a recognized anti-trafficking leader and tireless advocate. In that role we allocate resources to preventing the crime and providing justice for victims.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 $403k to $2.2M (+436%).
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: 2017 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of Courage Worldwide Inc’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 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
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 6 funders, grant income rose $11k → $80k.
7 of 15 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 89% 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 Courage Worldwide Inc’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
Courage Worldwide Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 55% of grant income and the top three 79%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
90% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Courage Worldwide Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 56% · 2018 93% · 2019 100% · 2020 49% · 2021 80% · 2022 73% · 2023 43% — 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.
How long its funders stay
33% of Courage Worldwide Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 33% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
89% of Courage Worldwide Inc'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. Of the $56k that is directly attributable, 73% of it comes from funders outside Nevada, across 6 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $452k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 states 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.
