What One World Now does
Mission
The mission of oneworld now! Is to develop the next generation of global leaders. Our approach combines world language learning, leadership training for 21st century skills, one-on-one mentoring, and access to study abroad programs.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Oneworld now! Offers after-school world language classes and leadership training workshops for high school youth. The program partners with public schools and is certified to offer credit, helping students to meet graduation requirements. Oneworld now! Focuses on students furthest from educational justice due to income, race, or amount of time in the u.s. With sliding scale tuition and individualized supports for student success. In 2024-25, oneworld now!s after-school program served 156 students in seattle public schools and online across the u.s.. Language classes are twice weekly during after-school hours. Languages taught include modern standard arabic, mandarin chinese, korean, and russian.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2023 to 2024, from $481k to $860k (+79%).
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: 2018 28% · 2019 37% · 2020 41% · 2021 76% · 2022 63% · 2023 42% · 2024 71%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
88% of ONE WORLD NOW’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (48% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 7 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 4 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $190k → $291k.
7 of 18 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 79% 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 ONE WORLD NOW’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
ONE WORLD NOW leans on a few funders — its largest provides 70% of grant income and the top three 81%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
87% 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 ONE WORLD NOW.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 47% · 2018 91% · 2019 86% · 2020 73% · 2021 86% · 2022 90% · 2023 75% — growing more concentrated.
“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
18% of ONE WORLD NOW's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 44% 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
79% of ONE WORLD NOW'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 $296k that is directly attributable, 56% of it comes from Washington 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 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. 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.
Against its field
ONE WORLD NOW runs a healthier operating margin than three-quarters of the 11,752 education nonprofits its size.
