What Sari Bari USA Inc does
Mission
To promote and support social initiatives and directives related to issues of human trafficking and exploitation, be it through distribution of funds to other organizations or sales and distribution of products addressing the aforementioned.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
On its FY2024 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
The organization is in the process of dissolving and is no longer actively conducting its programs. Therefore, there was no program service activity during 2024.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Sari Bari USA creates awareness about the restorative work of Sari Bari and other freedom businesses in India by selling beautiful, handmade, up-cycled product made by survivors of Kolkata's red light areas who have taken brave steps into new life, freedom, and hope. The organization is in the process of dissolving and is no longer actively conducting its programs. The foreign corporation, Sari Bari Private Limited, is in the process of dissolution. Once that is completed Sari Bari is expected to also file articles of dissolution. Therefore, there were no program service expenses or revenue during 2024.
$0 spent
The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $0.
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 2017 to 2018, from $718k to $328k (−54%).
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 16% · 2021 20%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of Sari Bari USA Inc’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 2 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $15k → $36.
3 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 69% 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 Sari Bari USA 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
Sari Bari USA Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 53% of grant income and the top three 99%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
69% 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 Sari Bari USA Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 93% · 2018 68% · 2019 63% · 2020 99% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — 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.
Where its funders are
69% of Sari Bari USA Inc'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 $13k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Indiana, across 1 state.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $29k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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
Sari Bari USA Inc holds deeper cash reserves than three-quarters of the 1,043 civil rights nonprofits its size.
