What Resonate Workshops does
Mission
Resonate delivers leadership training rooted in storytelling to empower women and girls to build self-confidence and unlock leadership potential in order to close gender gaps in east africa.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Community programs: in order to tackle women and youth unemployment, teenage pregnancies, and low participation of women in science, technology and mathematics, we have been implementing four community programs namely: gira ubushobozi ""be powerful"", speak for change, rise &stem, and gerakure "venture beyond" programs to ensure to tackle the above mentioned challenges in partnership with local government institutions. In 2025, we trained 6,051 participants (direct participants) and reached over 500 community members during the 16 days of the activism campaign against gender-based violence. As a result, 95% experienced an increase in leadership indicating experiencing along at least one or multiple changes of resonate's leadership change framework, whereby 95% demonstrated informal leadership described as behaviour change in self-efficacy, public speaking, and decision-making, 18% took on formal leadership roles, 73% started income-generating activities or businesses, 13% got a new job/promotion, 5% returned to school, 90% of students reported improved school performance and 100% joined savings groups.
$702,768 spent$4,144 earned by the program92% of program spendingStorytelling for leadership: resonate's core program is our storytelling for leadership program. Through this two-day training, participants learn to redefine leadership so that it is accessible for everyone, identify their values, and how they have driven the choices in their lives, and tell a confident leadership story that represents who they are and their why. Through this program, women gain the confidence and ability to advocate for themselves and others and make the change they wish to see in their lives and communities. In 2025, we trained 1,040 participants (direct participants) and reached over 500 community members during the 16 days of the activism campaign against gender-based violence. As a result, 91% demonstrated an increase in leadership, indicating experiencing along at least one or multiple changes of resonate's leadership change framework. The majority of change was captured at the informal leadership level, with 80% of participants reporting behavioural indicators including increased self-efficacy, public speaking confidence, and decision-making agency. These reflect the proximal behaviour changes most directly attributable to the storytelling for leadership…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2022 to 2023, from $431k to $546k (+27%).
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: 2020 11% · 2021 8% · 2022 0% · 2023 0% · 2024 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
90% of RESONATE WORKSHOPS’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 7 funders, grant income rose $36k → $209k.
7 of 15 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 18% 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 RESONATE WORKSHOPS’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
RESONATE WORKSHOPS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 55% of grant income and the top three 77%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 42% · 2018 83% · 2019 57% · 2020 46% · 2021 58% · 2022 57% · 2023 47% — 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
50% of RESONATE WORKSHOPS's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 53% 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
RESONATE WORKSHOPS draws 91% of its grant income from funders outside California, across 6 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $179k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
