What Global Seafood Alliance Inc does
Mission
GSA is a global non-governmental organization dedicated to advocacy, education and leadership for promoting responsible seafood practices.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
On its FY2021 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
During 2021, Global Seafood Assurances, Inc. (GSA), a related organization formally ceased operations and transfered all of its assets and activities to Global Seafood Alliance, Inc. Global Seafood Assurnaces, Inc. was established to meet marketplace expectations for assurances across the board in aquaculture and fisheries. Those assurances will flow from third-party certification programs that have been benchmarked by a combination of the Global Sustainable Seafood Initiative (GSSI), Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) and Global Social Compliance Programme (GSCP) and will address integrated assurances for environmental responsibility, social responsibility, food safety and animal welfare. Global Seafood Alliance formally took over these initiatives during the year.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
At The Global Seafood Alliance, our mission is to promote responsible aquaculture practices through education, advocacy and demonstration. For over 20 years, we have demonstrated our commitment to feeding the world through responsible and sustainable aquaculture. We do this by providing resources to individuals and businesses worldwide who are associated with aquaculture and seafood. We improve production practices through our partnerships with countries, communities and companies, as well as online learning and groundbreaking journalism that boasts active readership in every country of the world.
The program described on its FY2021 Form 990.
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 2021 to 2022, from $13M to $16M (+26%).
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 0% · 2021 5% · 2022 4%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
0% of Global Seafood Alliance Inc’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (61% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 8 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.
The chief executive listed changed between the FY2017 and FY2018 filings.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
42% 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 Seafood Alliance Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 64% · 2022 60% — diversifying over time.
