The policy agenda focused on defeating poverty by focusing on driving support to small-holder farmers, ensuring children in conflict areas have access to education, empowering girls and women, protecting the planet through climate action, and ensuring advocates everywhere have the opportunity to call for removing systemic barriers that keep people in poverty. These campaigns culminated in multiple high-profile moments: the first in Paris, where the campaign resulted in the World Bank instituting "debt pause clauses" into their loan agreements which enables the poorest countries in the world to pause their debt repayments when they are hit with a natural disaster so they can focus on restoring and rebuilding vital public services; the second in New York City, which resulted in $240 million in funding for the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), from France and Norway, and 1 million hectares of protected land in the Brazilian Amazon; and the third in Kigali, Rwanda, resulted in over 1,000 Rwandans being trained and employed as part of our first Move Afrika campaign. 19213957 1376076 1566197 END TO EXTREME POVERTY CAMPAIGNING: Global Citizen's vision is a world free from extreme poverty. We harness the power of artists, policy-makers, private sector leaders, and people everywhere to achieve our vision. Global Citizen's mission is to build the world's largest movement of action taking Global Citizens to end extreme poverty NOW. Global Citizen's efforts to eradicate extreme poverty have resulted in concrete actions on global systemic issues and have secured policy and financial commitments from world leaders. Over the past 10 years, $43.6 billion in commitments announced on Global Citizen platforms has been deployed, impacting nearly 1.3 billion lives. Nonetheless, despite these achievements, more people live in extreme poverty today than in 2019. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, combined with decades of neglect from our leaders, has wiped out years of progress. Climate change impacts are becoming more pronounced, and debt crises are once again threatening low- and middle-income countries. As a result, we revised our mission to refocus our vision to "End Extreme Poverty NOW," emphasizing the urgent need for immediate action. We recognized that we cannot continue business as usual, while the world slides further into multiple crises. Our campaign's emphasis is now on demanding that political leaders stop delaying action and focus on what we need to do here and now. 51929616 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true false true false true true true false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true true false false true X 140 0 true 85 true false true AS CA SF UK false false false false false false false false false false X 24 24 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true true true true true true false NY X X EDUARD TAUBE 3477826121 740 BROADWAY SUITE 400 NEW YORK NY 10003 X Hugh Evans CEO 50.0 0.0 X 520498 0 24920 Elizabeth Henshaw President 50.0 0.0 X 419310 0 55393 Simon Daniel Moss COO 50.0 0.0 X 242241 0 51305 Lee Rolontz SR.

In addition, the Organization has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service not to be a "publicly supported organization" within the meaning of Section 509(a) of the IRC. There was no unrelated business income for the year ended December 31, 2023. The organization files federal and New York State informational returns. The organization's foreign subsidiaries file individually in their respective countries and provinces. With few exceptions, the organization is no longer subject to federal, state, or local income tax examinations for years before 2020. Under GAAP, an organization must recognize the tax benefit associate with tax positions taken for tax-return purposes when it is more likely than not that the position will not be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. The Organization does not believe it has taken any material uncertain tax positions and, accordingly, it has not recorded any liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Organization is subject to routine audits by a taxing authority. As of December 31, 2023, the Organization was not subject to any examination by a taxing authority. true Europe (Including Iceland and Greenland) 2 20 Grantmaking 1814945 Central America and the Caribbean 0 0 Grantmaking 753489 Sub-Saharan Africa 1 9 Grantmaking 560194 North America 1 6 Grantmaking 311517 East Asia and the Pacific 1 1 Grantmaking 208857 5 36 5 36 3649002 3649002 Sub-Saharan Africa AWARD 250000 wire Sub-Saharan Africa Waislitz 100000 wire Sub-Saharan Africa Waislitz 75000 wire Sub-Saharan Africa Waislitz 75000 wire Sub-Saharan Africa GC Prize AWARD 20000 wire Europe (Including Iceland and Greenland) GC Prize Winner 10000 wire Europe (Including Iceland and Greenland) GC Prize Winner 10000 wire Europe (Including Iceland and Greenland) 1380031 WIRE Europe (Including Iceland and Greenland) 414914 wire Europe (Including Iceland and Greenland) 10000 wire Europe (Including Iceland and Greenland) 10000 wire Central America and the Caribbean 753489 wire Sub-Saharan Africa 250000 WIRE Sub-Saharan Africa 100000 WIRE Sub-Saharan Africa 75000 wire Sub-Saharan Africa 75000 wire Sub-Saharan Africa 40194 wire Sub-Saharan Africa 20000 wire North America 311517 wire East Asia and the Pacific 208857 wire 12 0 true false true false false false SCHEDULE F, PART I, LINE 2: true GC PRIZE AWARD 2 20000 PART I, LINE 2 - DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURE FOR MONITORING USE OF FUNDS THE ORGANIZATION MAKES ONLY UNRESTRICTED GRANTS TO U.S. 501(C)(3) CHARITIES, TYPICALLY IN THE FORM OF AWARDS, AS WELL AS TO INDVIDUALS.
