What Girls Incorporated of Greater Indianapolis does
Mission
Girls inc.'s mission is to inspire all girls to be strong, smart, and bold. In partnership with schools and community organizations, we focus on the development of the whole girl.

The combination of long-lasting mentoring relationships, a pro-girl environment, and research-based programming equips girls to navigate gender, economic and social barriers, and grow up healthy, educated, and independent. Informed by girls and their families, we also advocate for opportunities and possibilities for all girls.

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 2018 to 2019, from $2.3M to $5.6M (+146%).
