What Fearless Dialogues Inc does
Mission
We hope to interrupt cycles of marginalization, and to foster strong communities for the common good, by creating spaces for unlikely partners to engage in transformative conversations that change the way people see themselves and the world in which they live.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
The signature Fearless Dialogues model utilizes a unique combination of radical hospitality, interactive exercises, small-group discussion, large group reflection, and high-impact theory-based mini lectures on diversity and inclusion, implicit bias, and conflict transformation. Recognizing the sensitivity of the subject matter and the diversity of perspectives, this fusion of teaching approaches appeals to participants across generational, cultural, educational, racial and class lines. To date, Fearless Dialogues has served over 60,000 people, helping them to cultivate cultures of change in their respective communities.Fearless Dialogues creates spaces for transformation like none other.

Theory and research-based exercises (called 'experiments') heighten awareness, enhance vulnerable truth-sharing, and foster connections.Three Pillars - SEE. HEAR. CHANGE.We believe that until…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2021 to 2022, from $288k to $459k (+59%).
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: 2020 1% · 2021 5%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
31% of Fearless Dialogues Inc’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (99% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.
