What Global Fund for Burma Inc does
Mission
The Global Fund for Burma was established following the February 2021 coup to support the struggle for human rights, democracy, and justice in Burma. The Fund focuses on empowering Burmese organizations to build the connectivity between and among institutions of the democratic movement and historically marginalized groups, with a specific focus on supporting new and emerging voices. The Global Fund for Burma takes a field-forward partnership approach to its work, leveraging its network of diverse relationships across formal, informal, legacy, emerging, Bamar, and ethnic organizations and communities. The Global Fund for Burma supports those both inside Burma and in the border areas, who are working tirelessly to support the growing democratic movement, as well as provides humanitarian assistance to Burmese suffering from the coup and armed conflict.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The Fund engages with a range of Burmese democratic and human rights stakeholders to develop programs for increased meaningful inclusion of new, traditional, and non-traditional actors within the broader movement to build a genuine federal democratic Burma.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 $417k to $72k (−83%).
