01What it does

What Girls Incorporated of New Hampshire does

Mission

Girls Incorporated of New Hampshire is part of a national nonprofit organization where girls achieve their personal best. We are a member-based organization for girls ages 5 to 18, dedicated to developing their confidence, intelligence, and leadership abilities. Our core values guide our decision making and drive the curriculum content that we offer. Our key organizational values are: to respect the dignity of each human being; recognize and support the strength in every girl; appreciate, embrace, and value diversity; drive for results anchored in accountability; and to operate collaboratively. Our mission is to inspire all girls to be strong (through healthy choices), smart (through education), and bold (through independence).

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 23 funders, grant income rose $316k → $380k.

9 of 54 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 29% 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 GIRLS INCORPORATED OF NEW HAMPSHIRE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 54 funders by total. 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

GIRLS INCORPORATED OF NEW HAMPSHIRE has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 21% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left

61% 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 GIRLS INCORPORATED OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.

first grant+1y+2y+3y+4y+5y+6y

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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
