01What it does

What The Global LPG Partnership Inc does

Mission

The Global LPG Partnership assists developing countries to plan, finance and implement national-scale availability and use of liquified petroleum gas to help prevent the 4 million annual deaths, severe forest loss, and vast impact on women's and children's labor time caused by societal dependence on solid fuels for cooking.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Program

  1. GLPGP designs, assists financing of and implements large-scale sustainable transitions to clean household fuel to replace dependence on solid-fuel, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa.On June 1, 2021, GLPGP, with its sister organization, BioLPG LLC, each signed a License Agreement with the Gas Technology Institute (now doing business as GTI Energy) to commercialize the development of BioLPG using its Cool LPG technology and to raise significant funding for its R&D. Substantial funds were raised and technology progress has been made. In 2024, GLPGP was in discussions with the African Retailers and Distributors Association (ARDA) to develop a $1 billion fund to further the use of LPG in Africa. In 2024, GLPGP signed a contract to develop a national LPG master plan and a 10-year investment forecast for the government of Mozambique. The project work is expected to conclude in early 2026.

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.

2 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 98% 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 The Global LPG Partnership 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

The Global LPG Partnership Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 98% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder 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 The Global LPG Partnership Inc.

Where its funders are

98% of The Global LPG Partnership 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 $10k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside New York, across 1 state.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $565k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
