This address is a suite or unit (STE 1200). Organizations that share one are often clients of the same office-services firm, accountant or registered agent rather than related to each other.

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2025

• Harness Market Forces: Bring Visibility to the Supply Chain: GoodWeave addresses child and forced labor where it is most prevalent-in hidden, outsourced supply chains beyond factory walls. As the first step, GoodWeave partners with companies to map and monitor their primary and subcontracted supplier networks, bringing visibility to previously unmonitored production sites where child labor may be present, and adult workers may lack protections. GoodWeave partners with rug and home textile designers, importers, and retailers to create a market for products made without child and forced labor. Through its licensing, certification, and labeling program, GoodWeave engages both businesses and consumers to drive change in producer communities. To be certified and thus eligible to display the GoodWeave label, manufacturers sign a legally binding agreement to: (1) Produce products free from child, forced, and bonded labor; (2) Register all production sites with GoodWeave and allow random, unannounced inspections; and (3) Pay license fees that support restoring freedom to children, rehabilitation, and education in India and Nepal. In 2025, India and Nepal added 10 new importers and 29 new exporters, expanding our reach within supply chains and partnered with 399 businesses in 22 countries under its licensing and certification program. This year 24.3% of the global market for handmade rugs carried the GoodWeave certification label.

• Clean Up Supply Chains: Tackling Risk and Offering Remedy: GoodWeave certification offers the best assurance that rug, home textile, and apparel and fashion jewelry products are made without the use of child labor. GoodWeave's inspection system is the only one that reaches all levels of the supply chain in informal manufacturing. In 2025, GoodWeave's national inspection teams in South Asia reached 146,282 workers by conducting 36,463 audits and inspections, which also resulted in 4.6 million rugs and home textiles certified as child-labor-free. In 2025, GoodWeave restored freedom to 377 children across all program categories. Every child found is offered rehabilitation, counseling services, schooling and other critical services. In addition - and this is the most powerful point of impact - unannounced, random inspections of workshops, factories, and private homes in artisan and producer villages prevent thousands of children from ever being exploited.

• Create Educational Opportunities: Addressing Root Causes: GoodWeave supported educational programs address root causes to help prevent child and forced labor. The social programs embedded in worker communities help keep children in school while also improving working conditions and supporting the rights of vulnerable workers.Through our community-based partnerships, we implement programs, including daycares and early childhood education centers, school enrollment drives, center-based rehabilitation, and non-formal education services, as well as Child Friendly Communities (CFCs) in India to help keep children in school and out of labor. GoodWeave incorporates a multi-stakeholder approach, engaging with community members in both the design and delivery of programs, as facilitators of the work. In 2025, GoodWeave provided educational opportunities for more than over 30,000 children. One of GoodWeave's key preventative efforts is the Early Childhood Education Program. Children between the ages of two and six attend preschool at one of our centers in Kathmandu, Nepal, where they learn through play in a nursery setting under the supervision of trained caregivers. Carpet workers report a range of benefits when their children participate in the program, including getting their children on a path to education early on. In 2025, GoodWeave supported 304 children in accessing early child hood education through its daycare centers.Empowering Next Generation of GirlsA total of 49 Girls' Groups operate in GoodWeave-supported Child Friendly Communities in India, offering a peer network where girls can discuss topics such as reproductive health, nutrition, hygiene, and child marriage. GoodWeave's Girls Empowerment Groups reached 1,740 adolescent girls directly, with an additional 5,000 girls and women benefiting through shared learning and peer engagement. Eighty-five percent of participants come from marginalized groups. Girls participating in life skills sessions report feeling more confident, better informed, and equipped to navigate challenges at home and in their communities.

• Addressing Root Causes Through Community-Based Prevention: GoodWeave takes a holistic approach to addressing labor abuses across its supply chains. One important part of the equation is ensuring that adult workers are better compensated and better treated within their workplaces. GoodWeave seeks to improve conditions for workers, and extends a range of services - such as eye screenings and treatments, general health clinics, and rights awareness sessions in supply chains, which benefited 11,505 workers between 2023 and 2025.

• Promote Best Practices: Advocacy, Research, and System's Change Partnerships: GoodWeave promotes best practices and builds capacity in other organizations based on its model. We also implement innovative projects, conduct research, and advance advocacy and thought leadership to expand impact across sectors. In February 2025, GoodWeave's published report, "Forced Labour and Child Labour in Bangladesh's Garment Sector: Documenting Risks and Informing Solutions", drew on on surveys and focus group discussions with more than 2,000 adult and minor workers across 20 industrial clusters in Dhaka and Chattogram, Bangladesh's key ready-made garment production hubs. GoodWeave provided concrete recommendations for the Government of Bangladesh, international buyers, local garment suppliers, non-governmental organizations, and trade unions to improve supply chain transparency, conduct risk-based human rights due diligence, ensure adequate compensation, mitigate child and forced labor, and establish effective grievance mechanisms in Bangladesh's ready-made garment sector.In October 2025, GoodWeave also releases its report, "From Risk to Resilience: How Climate Change is Deepening Child and Forced Labor in Nepal, and what to do about it," to document how climate change is intensifying risks for vulnerable groups and examines how workers and communities are coping with these pressures.The recommendations for public and private sector leaders, includes: designing and implementing targeted protec tions for climate-vulnerable children and adult workers in high-risk sectors by strengthening education, safeguarding, and climate awareness; strengthening agricultural resilience and land access while enhancing income-generating op portunities and livelihood diversification; enhancing climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction; and ex panding existing labor and social protection frameworks in Nepali law to ensure adequate safety of children.In 2025, GoodWeave continued to participate in numerous high-level events and advocacy platforms to promote the importance of ending child labor and modern slavery through deep due diligence practices that include full supply chain mapping, application of strong human rights standards, ensuring remedy to rights holders, and addressing root causes. These included speaking roles at the OECD Forum on Due Diligence in Apparel and Footwear, a stakeholder convening in Bangladesh, and an advocacy initiative to disseminate recommendations from the climate research in Nepal.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
