Mission

SHE'S THE FIRST (STF) TEAMS UP WITH GRASSROOTS LEADERS TO MAKE SURE GIRLS EVERYWHERE ARE EDUCATED, RESPECTED, AND HEARD. OUR VISION IS A WORLD WHERE EVERY GIRL CAN CHOOSE HER OWN FUTURE.

Activities or mission (Part I)

SHE'S THE FIRST TEAMS UP WITH GRASSROOTS LEADERS TO MAKE SURE GIRLS EVERYWHERE ARE EDUCATED, RESPECTED, AND HEARD. TO FULFILL OUR MISSION, WE TEACH A GIRL HOW TO SPEAK UP FOR HERSELF IN HER HOME, SCHOOL, AND COMMUNITY, WHILE WE TEACH THE MENTORS IN HER LIFE PRACTICAL WAYS TO SUPPORT HER AGENCY. WE IMPROVE LIFE OUTCOMES FOR GIRLS BY DIRECTLY INVESTING IN THEIR EDUCATION AND MENTORSHIP PROGRAMS, WHILE ALSO INFLUENCING THEIR SUPPORT SYSTEMS. OVER THE PAST 15 YEARS, WE'VE CREATED TRANSFORMATIONAL OUTCOMES FOR NEARLY ONE MILLION GIRLS BY WORKING ALONGSIDE 700+ COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS IN 42 COUNTRIES.

  • MENTORSHIP AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS: ORGANIZATIONS IN OUR PARTNER COALITION RECEIVE FLEXIBLE GRANTS, TO SUPPORT GIRLS' ACCESS TO SCHOOL AND AFTER-SCHOOL MENTORSHIP PROGRAMS. OUR COHORT COLLABORATES ON SHARED GOALS TO INCREASE GIRLS' AGENCY THROUGH MENTORSHIP, AND WE ASSIST WITH MEASUREMENT TOOLS TO REPORT THOSE OUTCOMES. TO FURTHER THESE GOALS, WE ALSO CREATE CAPTIVATING EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES THAT ENGAGE GIRLS IN LEARNING ABOUT THEIR RIGHTS AND BODIES.

    Expenses $252,271 · Grants $307,510

  • THE GIRLS FIRST INSTITUTE: THE GIRLS FIRST INSTITUTE IS A LEADERSHIP PROGRAM FOR WOMEN SERVING GIRLS IN EAST AND WEST AFRICA, LATIN AMERICA, AND SOUTH ASIA.

  • OTHER PROGRAMS: SHE'S THE FIRST SUPPORTS ITS PROGRAMMATIC IMPACT THROUGH A SET OF CROSS-CUTTING INITIATIVES INCLUDING COMMUNICATIONS AND STAFF CAPACITY BUILDING. COMMUNICATIONS EFFORTS INCLUDING DIGITAL STORYTELLING, SOCIAL MEDIA, AND MEDIA OUTREACH ADVANCE THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION BY RAISING AWARENESS OF GIRLS' EDUCATION GLOBALLY AND MOBILIZING SUPPORTERS, DONORS, AND PARTNERS AROUND ITS WORK. STAFF RETREATS AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT CONVENINGS STRENGTHEN THE TEAM'S CAPACITY TO DELIVER HIGH-QUALITY PROGRAMS, FOSTER ORGANIZATIONAL COHESION, AND SUPPORT THE WELLBEING OF STAFF WORKING ON COMPLEX INTERNATIONAL ISSUES. TOGETHER, THESE INITIATIVES ENSURE THE ORGANIZATION CAN SUSTAIN AND GROW ITS IMPACT FOR GIRLS AND YOUNG WOMEN WORLDWIDE.

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. 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.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
