What Plan International USA Inc does

Mission

Plan International USA is a global international development and humanitarian organization that advances children's rights and equality for girls. In Fiscal Year 2025, our programs reached more than 49 million children worldwide, including over 26 million girls. We worked with communities in more than 80 countries to strengthen education, health, child protection and youth economic empowerment, supporting children's access to safe learning environments and helping families overcome barriers such as school fees, distance and discrimination. Our teams built and rehabilitated classrooms, provided school meals and ensured inclusive learning opportunities for children affected by crisis. In regions impacted by conflict, displacement, and natural disaster across the globe, Plan's humanitarian teams and their local partners delivered food, nutrition support, and psychosocial support to individuals and communities in need. We also partnered with young people to strengthen vocational skills and create sustainable livelihoods through nearly 100 youth employment and entrepreneurship projects. Through these efforts, Plan is breaking down barriers so children can learn, lead, decide and…

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

02The organization over time

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

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 71 funders to 94 funders, grant income fell $5.7M → $3.8M.

43 of 218 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 23% 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 PLAN INTERNATIONAL USA INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 218 funders by total. 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

PLAN INTERNATIONAL USA INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 12% of grant income, and it takes 6 funders to reach half.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 funders to its left

64% 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 PLAN INTERNATIONAL USA INC.

How long its funders stay

54% of PLAN INTERNATIONAL USA INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 67% give in more than one year at all.

first grant+1y+2y+3y+4y+5y+6y

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. $13M arriving through sponsors registered in 21 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.
