Programs
SAIs grant programs bring together all relevant actors to address systems-level change, working together on policy, research, capacity building, multi-stakeholder dialog, and innovative solutions to address root causes and cross-cutting issues at sectoral, cross-sectoral and regional levels. These projects seek to increase access to remedy for labor violations, introduce more ethical recruitment practices, elevate the voices of workers in private and public sector contexts, strengthen the use of social performance management systems by companies, and strengthen the capacity of civil society and governmental institutions. Together, these strategies help improve labor conditions at multiple levels of supply chains and across large swaths of the target industries. Our grant programs are also hubs of innovation, originating and piloting new methods and resources that can then be adapted and scaled through our other areas of work.

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 2021 to 2022, from $3.7M to $6.1M (+63%).
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: 2019 5% · 2020 7% · 2021 20% · 2022 29% · 2023 29% · 2024 34%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
37% of SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY INTERNATIONAL INC’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (97% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income rose $16k → $242k.
5 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 12% 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 SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY INTERNATIONAL 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
SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY INTERNATIONAL INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 41% of grant income and the top three 85%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
98% 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 SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY INTERNATIONAL INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 98% · 2018 65% · 2019 79% · 2020 57% · 2021 57% · 2022 66% · 2023 86% — 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.
How long its funders stay
38% of SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY INTERNATIONAL INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% 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
SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY INTERNATIONAL INC draws 97% of its grant income from funders outside New York, across 5 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $226k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
