Program
On its FY2025 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.

Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Global Rights for Women philippines - in 2025, grw worked with local partners in metro manila to build capacity to achieve systemic improvements in the legal system. This work was focused on new reforms to law and policy on sexual assault, domestic violence, child abuse and sex trafficking. Grw traveled to the philippines twice in 2025 to meet in person with local advocates and continue this work. Tanzania - grw continued its work with tanzanian network of legal aid providers (tanlap) a local ngo in dar es salaam to achieve systemic reforms on violence against women. Grw consulted with tanlap on strategies to draft and pass a dedicated law prohibiting all forms of violence against women and to improve legal representation for survivors of violence. In february 2025, grw traveled to tanzania in furtherance of this work. Armenia - in 2025, in collaboration with the womens support center (wsc) in yerevan, grw drafted the report, advancing the domestic violence agenda in armenia, based on our in-person visits, interviews and document review. The report will be published in 2026.

The program described on its FY2025 Form 990. Program spending in total: $226,079.
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.
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 $635k to $81k (−87%).
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 14% · 2021 11% · 2024 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
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
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 9 funders to 19 funders, grant income rose $113k → $263k.
11 of 29 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 61% 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 RIGHTS FOR WOMEN’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.
How concentrated its funding is
GLOBAL RIGHTS FOR WOMEN has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 22% 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
62% 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 GLOBAL RIGHTS FOR WOMEN.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 31% · 2018 27% · 2019 23% · 2020 19% · 2021 35% · 2022 22% · 2023 20% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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 long its funders stay
81% of GLOBAL RIGHTS FOR WOMEN's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 62% give in more than one year at all.
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.
Where its funders are
61% of GLOBAL RIGHTS FOR WOMEN'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. Of the $694k that is directly attributable, 91% of it comes from Minnesota funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
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. 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.
