Programs

  1. CASE WORK AND CAPACITY BUILDING: At the request of community advocates worldwide, we investigate corporations, investors, and supply chain actors linked to harmful activities and identify where pressure can drive change. We also train and equip civil society organizations with tools and digital resources to conduct their own investigations and advocacy. In select cases, we go further, partnering with community organizations to design and implement sustained, multi-pronged advocacy strategies aimed at preventing harm and securing redress. . CASE WORK AND CAPACITY BUILDING: In 2024 our researchers opened new avenues for communities to defend their rights by investigating the investment and supply chains of 50 harmful projects in nine countries, along with regional projects in Asia and Africa and one global investigation of the palm oil sector. Participants in our training courses investigated an additional 36 projects in 11 countries with our help. Altogether this research uncovered 151 new advocacy opportunities for communities in 18 countries, which we and our partners helped communities seize in 25 cases. This year we secured 24 important case wins and remedial or preventative…

Key policy accomplishments in 2024 included the following: . -----We filed the first OECD complaint of its kind against the three biggest ESG ratings and index firms for failing to uphold their human rights responsibilities. Our End Coal Finance campaign exposed how a $600 million Asian Development Bank loan meant to promote clean energy in Indonesia helped bankroll coal plants across the archipelago. We also published research identifying the commercial banks most likely to finance a wave of new coal power projects planned across Asia. Sixteen banks responded by ruling out financing the pipeline coal projects we identified. . -----We launched a new initiative to document and amplify the perspectives of frontline communities on what a just approach…

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 9 funders, grant income rose $609k → $1.1M.

5 of 17 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 9% 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 Inclusive Development 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

Inclusive Development International leans on a few funders — its largest provides 33% of grant income and the top three 65%; half comes from just 2 funders.

“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

50% of Inclusive Development International's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 59% give in more than one year at all.

first grant+1y+2y+3y+4y

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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $552k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
