What World Foundation for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts Inc does
Mission
The world foundation's mission is to support projects and programs undertaken by the wagggs, including the girl scouts of the usa, "to enable girls and young women to develop their fullest potential as responsible citizens of the world."
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The world foundation invests in girls to become global leaders by raising public awareness and awarding grants to our two corporate members, wagggs and gsusa. The grants awarded support wagggs and gsusa programs that create opportunities for girls to grow as people and leaders, building skills in resiliency and empathy to become global citizens. Our grants support funding for (1) young women to volunteer as staff at world centers on five continents to build skills in delivering programing for visitors from around the world; (2) delegations of girls to present at the un commission on the status of women and the un climate change conference (cop); (3) programing support and scholarships for participants to attend/travel to cross cultural events on leadership, environmental stewardship, outdoor skills (camping) and cultural discovery, at the wagggs world centers or global events sponsored by gsusa, including events hosted by usa girl scouts overseas; and (4) projects that strengthen member organizations as well as the development of new approaches to reach girls and young women and new approaches to growing and learning for the 11.2 million wagggs members in 154 countries.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $3.1M to $4.4M (+43%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
80% 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 WORLD FOUNDATION FOR GIRL GUIDES AND GIRL SCOUTS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 47% · 2018 55% · 2019 75% · 2020 48% · 2021 48% · 2022 32% · 2023 27% — 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.

55% of WORLD FOUNDATION FOR GIRL GUIDES AND GIRL SCOUTS INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 58% 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.

Where its funders are
80% of WORLD FOUNDATION FOR GIRL GUIDES AND GIRL SCOUTS 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $780k arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
