What Invisible Girl Project does
Mission
Invisible Girl Project's (igp) mission is to save girls' lives and end female gendercide in india. Igp raises global awareness about this issue, partners with indian organizations that rescue and care for vulnerable girls, pursues justice, and empowers girls and women.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Child sponsorships: Invisible Girl Project partners with indian organizations to protect and provide for young girls and women in india from female gendercide. Our mission is to end the scourge of female gendercide in india, and our vision is an india where girls and women are valued as an integral part of society. We define female gendercide as encompassing a range of issues that prevent females from thriving and envisioning a successful future. These issues include, but are not limited to, feticide, infanticide, child marriage, lack of education, lack of job-ready skills, suppression of women in households, violence, and the risk of becoming victims of sex trafficking.the idea behind our child sponsorship program is that, rather than waiting to rescue a girl or woman who has been trafficked or harmed, we work to prevent girls from becoming vulnerable to such risks in the first place. By identifying young girls in communities where our partners operate, we are able to bring them into our care. We provide nutritious food, quality education, nurturing supervision, counseling, life skills, and job training. Above all, we offer these girls a sense of community, self-confidence, and…
$46,826 spent9% of program spendingEducation and empowerment:india is a country with a vast population. In 2022, it surpassed china as the most populated country in the world. Unfortunately, a significant portion of the population remains undereducated or uneducated. Communities in these areas often continue to uphold uninformed traditions and practices. Through our years of work in india, we have observed that these practices frequently include a lack of value placed on females. In many communities, women and girls are viewed as less than men and boys, and are therefore not afforded the same opportunities for success and well-being.Invisible Girl Project's vision is an india where girls are valued equally. As such, it is our responsibility to help change these realities wherever we can. Our education and empowerment programs are designed to educate, inform, and train people in the communities we serve to recognize - often for the first time - the discrimination faced by girls and young women. Our goal is to raise awareness of these harmful practices and traditions. Tactically, we aim to see an increasing number of girls receive an education early in life and begin to dream of a successful future - one that is…
$29,315 spent6% of program spendingRice and child sponsorship program support: with close to a thousand girls in our program, Invisible Girl Project is deeply mindful of the many aspects of their care and development. Our goal is not only to support their physical well-being but also to nurture their emotional and socio-cultural sense of belonging. When a young girl is brought into our care through our partners on the ground, we conduct a thorough and thoughtfully designed evaluation to understand how best to support her. This helps us create a realistic path for her long-term success, including access to appropriate educational opportunities and, eventually, a potential career.throughout this journey, our counselors and social workers walk alongside each girl, offering empathetic guidance every step of the way. Our teams include social workers, counselors, administrative staff who help procure supplies and coordinate with schools and colleges, and accountants who ensure that every donation is used ethically and wisely for its intended purpose.in 2024, our rice program ensured that girls were rescued from vulnerable situations that could have led to harmful outcomes; intervened on their behalf within their…

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 2020 to 2021, from $483k to $796k (+65%).
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: 2021 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of INVISIBLE GIRL PROJECT’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (100% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 8 funders, grant income rose $6k → $162k.
11 of 19 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 87% 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 INVISIBLE GIRL PROJECT’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
INVISIBLE GIRL PROJECT has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 21% 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
90% 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 INVISIBLE GIRL PROJECT.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 40% · 2019 68% · 2020 31% · 2021 36% · 2022 23% · 2023 33% — 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
50% of INVISIBLE GIRL PROJECT's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 58% 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
87% of INVISIBLE GIRL PROJECT'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 $108k that is directly attributable, 69% of it comes from funders outside North Carolina, across 5 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $720k arriving through sponsors registered in 10 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.
