The regenerative hubs program was created to bridge our advocacy with action by empowering women and youth to rebuild their communities through substainable livelihoods. Each hub trains survivors and at-risk women in regenerative agriculture, soil restoration, and climate-smart entrepreneurship, transforming land once depleted and lives once marginalized. By linking economic opportunity with the prevention of harmful practices, regenerative hubs advance safe hands for girls' mission to create safety, dignity, and lasting independence for women and girls.

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 2018 to 2019, from $401k to $174k (−57%).

Who funds it, year by year

From the IRS filings of SAFE HANDS FOR GIRLS INC’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
SAFE HANDS FOR GIRLS INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 26% 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
56% 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 SAFE HANDS FOR GIRLS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 67% · 2018 89% · 2019 58% · 2020 37% · 2021 44% · 2022 35% · 2023 48% — 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.

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.

Where its funders are
SAFE HANDS FOR GIRLS INC draws 99% of its grant income from funders outside Georgia, across 7 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.2M arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
