Mission

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Program

  1. Project Expedite Justices mission is to assist victims of mass atrocities and serious human rights abuses to find justice through all available legal mechanisms. Pej equips local actors to stop human rights abuses, both now and in the future. We start by training local investigators where populations have been marginalized. The local investigators are trained in concepts related to international criminal law and evidence collection procedures. Thereafter, we guide and monitor the investigators as they collect information. We carry out research to identify the most promising legal forum to pursue accountability and guide appropriate cases through the legal process. In 2024, we continued our effort to support and file cases increased our mentoring and training sessions, and our number of trainees and trainers and did investigative missions to collect evidence. We also won legal victories and increased the capacity of dozens of local groups to document and store evidence.

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.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 7 funders, grant income rose $249k → $2.0M.

4 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 6% 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 PROJECT EXPEDITE JUSTICE’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

PROJECT EXPEDITE JUSTICE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 34% of grant income and the top three 72%; half comes from just 2 funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left

45% 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 PROJECT EXPEDITE JUSTICE.

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

100% of PROJECT EXPEDITE JUSTICE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 82% give in more than one year at all.

first grant+1y+2y+3y

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. $373k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
