What GoodWeave International does
Mission
GoodWeave works to stop child and forced labor in global supply chains. Permanently.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Harness Market Forces: Bring Visibility to the Supply Chain: GoodWeave addresses child and forced labor where it is most prevalent-in hidden, outsourced supply chains beyond factory walls. As the first step, GoodWeave partners with companies to map and monitor their primary and subcontracted supplier networks, bringing visibility to previously unmonitored production sites where child labor may be present, and adult workers may lack protections. GoodWeave partners with rug and home textile designers, importers, and retailers to create a market for products made without child and forced labor. Through its licensing, certification, and labeling program, GoodWeave engages both businesses and consumers to drive change in producer communities. To be certified and thus eligible to display the GoodWeave label, manufacturers sign a legally binding agreement to: (1) Produce products free from child, forced, and bonded labor; (2) Register all production sites with GoodWeave and allow random, unannounced inspections; and (3) Pay license fees that support restoring freedom to children, rehabilitation, and education in India and Nepal. In 2025, India and Nepal added 10 new importers and 29 new…

GoodWeave's inspection system is the only one that reaches all levels of the supply chain in informal manufacturing. In 2025, GoodWeave's national inspection teams in South Asia reached 146,282 workers by conducting 36,463 audits and inspections, which also resulted in 4.6 million rugs and home textiles certified as child-labor-free. In 2025, GoodWeave restored freedom to 377 children across all program categories. Every child found is offered rehabilitation, counseling services, schooling and other critical services. In addition - and this is the most powerful point of impact - unannounced, random inspections of workshops, factories, and private homes in artisan and producer villages prevent thousands of children from ever being exploited.

The social programs embedded in worker communities help keep children in school while also improving working conditions and supporting the rights of vulnerable workers.Through our community-based partnerships, we implement programs, including daycares and early childhood education centers, school enrollment drives, center-based rehabilitation, and non-formal education services, as well as Child Friendly Communities (CFCs) in India to help keep children in school and out of labor. GoodWeave incorporates a multi-stakeholder approach, engaging with community members in both the design and delivery of programs, as facilitators of the work. In 2025, GoodWeave provided educational opportunities for more than over 30,000 children. One of GoodWeave's key preventative efforts is the Early Childhood Education Program. Children between the ages of two and six attend preschool at one of our centers in Kathmandu, Nepal, where they learn through play in a nursery setting under the supervision of trained caregivers.

One important part of the equation is ensuring that adult workers are better compensated and better treated within their workplaces. GoodWeave seeks to improve conditions for workers, and extends a range of services - such as eye screenings and treatments, general health clinics, and rights awareness sessions in supply chains, which benefited 11,505 workers between 2023 and 2025.

We also implement innovative projects, conduct research, and advance advocacy and thought leadership to expand impact across sectors. In February 2025, GoodWeave's published report, "Forced Labour and Child Labour in Bangladesh's Garment Sector: Documenting Risks and Informing Solutions", drew on on surveys and focus group discussions with more than 2,000 adult and minor workers across 20 industrial clusters in Dhaka and Chattogram, Bangladesh's key ready-made garment production hubs. GoodWeave provided concrete recommendations for the Government of Bangladesh, international buyers, local garment suppliers, non-governmental organizations, and trade unions to improve supply chain transparency, conduct risk-based human rights due diligence, ensure adequate compensation, mitigate child and forced labor, and establish effective grievance mechanisms in Bangladesh's ready-made garment sector.In October 2025, GoodWeave also releases its report, "From Risk to Resilience: How Climate Change is Deepening Child and…

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 2018 to 2019, from $4.1M to $6.2M (+51%).
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: 2017 13% · 2018 9% · 2019 5% · 2020 22% · 2021 37% · 2022 9% · 2023 24% · 2024 17% · 2025 13%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
69% of GoodWeave International’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (97% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 6 funders to 7 funders, grant income fell $990k → $68k.
7 of 21 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 17% 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 GoodWeave International’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
GoodWeave International leans on a few funders — its largest provides 52% of grant income and the top three 79%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
26% 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 GoodWeave International.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 85% · 2018 60% · 2019 58% · 2020 68% · 2021 56% · 2022 46% · 2023 30% — 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
38% of GoodWeave International's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 67% 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
GoodWeave International draws 98% of its grant income from funders outside Washington, D.C., across 8 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $601k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
