What Global Alliance for Community Empowerment does
Mission
Gace empowers african communities to alleviate poverty and advance gender equity through programs in maternal health, education, sustainable living and fair trade development. Activities: direct services, capacity building and infrastructure.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Access to Water: GACE installs deep water wells in villages in northern Ghana, providing clean and safe water for over 100 families a day. In addition to potable water, wells also help build a sense of community through shared ownership. In 2025, GACE installed one water well in Ghana.
$5,720 spent39% of program spendingReforestation: GACE planted 20,000 trees of various species (Shea, Mango, Cassia, Mahogany, Moringa, Neem, and Eucalyptus) in the Upper East region of Ghana, West Africa. This region is within the African Sahel, which forms a vulnerable "green wall" against encroaching deserts of North Africa and is a critical carbon sink for mitigating climate change. Unfortunately, there has been a lack of international attention on savanna tree cover losses, and without support for solutions, deforestation will continue. Since 2006, GACE has been planting trees to help slow tree loss and bring awareness to the issue in our communities. Our reforestation project is about survival. We increase chances of tree survival by choosing species that are suitable for the environment and by planting them with community groups, such as schools, organized farmer collectives, and shea nut collector groups. Groups are more likely to provide irrigation needed to get seedlings through the first dry season and protect the young trees from grazing livestock and wildfires.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2022 to 2023, from $247k to $108k (−56%).
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 GLOBAL ALLIANCE FOR COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

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
2020 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $62 → $50.
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 GLOBAL ALLIANCE FOR COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT’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 GLOBAL ALLIANCE FOR COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT'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. $238 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.
