Withheld by Nonprofiteer: this text may name a private individual.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Growing leaders who transform the world around them.

  • National Transformation: We are currently serving in the countries of Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Paraguay, and Papua New Guinea. Utilizing values-based roundtables from our founder John Maxwell to transform hundreds of thousands of people in these countries. We also unite and inspire some of the most influential leaders to include members of the top 8 streams of influence in each country to launch transformational initiatives for their people.

    Expenses $6,290,634 · Grants $2,454,855

  • Individual Transformation: We utilize value-based roundtables from our founder John Maxwell to transform hundreds of thousands of people in the community. Change Your World is a program developed out of John Maxwell and Rob Hoskins' book by the same title. The program takes users on a journey through values-based leadership curriculum, with the goal of equipping people as leaders with good values and a heart for intentionally making a difference in their world. iLead is our peer-to-peer values-based, people-centric leadership development content designed specifically for students. Since its launch in 2018, iLead has provided children and youth in 72+ countries with an opportunity to explore the power of their choices, actions and influence to make their world better and brighter.

    Expenses $1,543,959

  • Community Transformation: In countries too large for country transformation, we work in communities. Currently, we work primarily in the United States, and know community transformation will soon spread to the rest of the world. The approach is similar to country transformation. We utilize value-based roundtables from our founder John Maxwell to transform hundreds of thousands of people in the community. We also unite and inspire some of the most influential leaders in the community to launch transformational initiatives for their people.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
