| Desc | Groundswell International, Inc. (Groundswell) strengthens communities to build healthy farming and food systems from the ground up. Groundswells global network includes 16 non-governmental organizations supporting 865 community-based organizations groups organized into three Regional Programs for action-learning and amplification: Latin America and the Caribbean (Ecuador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico), South Asia (India, Nepal), and West Africa (Burkina Faso, Ghana, Mali, Senegal). In 2025, collectively, the Groundswell network supported 273,771 smallholder farmers to strengthen their production, resilience, and wellbeing. Our work improved the lives of 2,148,203 people from 1,320 marginalized communities by addressing the root causes of environmental degradation, food insecurity, poverty, climate vulnerability, and social marginalization. We support | Desc |

While programming in each region, as well as at the country level, is designed to respond to the local context, Groundswell programs everywhere: -Work with farmer leaders to test and adopt agroecological methods and spread them to more people through farmer-to-farmer training, allowing these farmers to produce more healthy food and restore hundreds of thousands of hectares of degraded land. -Empower women farmers to participate in savings and credit groups, improve ecological | Desc |

Our holistic approach links agroecological farming to family nutrition. -Support citizens to engage with local decision-makers on enabling local policies and produce influential case studies, policy briefs, and impact reports based on learning across our network, to share with other stakeholders to expedite the necessary transition to agroecology. West Africa -- We continued to work with our partners Agrecol Afrique in Senegal; Association Nourrir Sans Detruire (ANSD) in Burkina Faso; the Center for Indigenous Knowledge and Organizational Development (CIKOD) in Ghana; and Sahel Eco in Mali. In 2025, we added two new partners to our network both based in Northern Ghana, Urbanet and Center for Ecological Agriculture and Livehoods. Our West Africa program focuses on supporting dryland farming households to transition from conventional agriculture to agroecological and regenerative farming and food systems that allow them to mitigate and adapt to climate change; strengthen local management of biodiversity; and generate nature-based solutions to increase food security and incomes. In 2025, across these four Sahelian countries, Groundswell- supported programs that engaged 254,654 smallholder farmers through cascading, farmer-to-farmer training; contributed to regenerating 231,747 hectares of land; and programs benefitted 1,853,223 people. Latin America and the Caribbean - In 2025, we worked with partners EkoRural in Ecuador; Partenariat pour le Developpement Local (PDL) in Haiti; Qachuu Aloom and Asociacion Comunitaria Flor del Cafe aldea El Durazno in Guatemala; and Asociacion de Comites Ecologicos del Sur del Honduras (ACESH) and Vecinos Honduras. In these five countries, in 2025, we supported 17,233 smallholder farmers to improve their farming, create sustainable rural livelihoods, and strengthen their communities resilience. Groundswell programs with partners in the region benefitted 112,080 people (about the seating capacity of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum) and helped regenerate 5797 hectares of land. | Desc |

| Pt X, Line 2 | Groundswell is exempt from federal income taxes under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the Code, however, income from certain activities not related to an organizations tax-exempt purpose may be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. The organization had no income from unrelated business activities in 2025 and was, therefore, not required to file Federal Form 990-T (Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return). The organization believes that it has appropriate support for all tax positions taken, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements. |

| Explanation | Procedures for monitoring the use of grant funds outside the U.S. Groundswell engages in extensive pre-grant due diligence of any organization to which it disburses money. For foreign organizations, Groundswell requires that the organization be a legally registered charitable non-profit organization within its country. The information required to be provided by potential grantees includes financials for the current and previous years, governing documents, details about the board of directors, and descriptions of programs and activities. These requirements are in addition to rather than in lieu of a project funding proposal. Once the decision is made to make a grant to a foreign organization, Groundswell requires a written cooperation agreement between the grantee and Groundswell, which outlines each organizations duties and responsibilities, including the grantees responsibility to request prior written approval from Groundswell before making substantial modifications to the project and/or budget. When the agreement is signed by the grantee, a transfer is made either from Groundswell headquarters or by direct transfer from the donor to a local bank account in the country where the grantee intends to implement activities outlined in its project proposal. During the grant period, Groundswell maintains regular and frequent contact with grantees, including through e-mail, phone and occasional field visits. Groundswell also requires regular progress and final narrative and financial reports. When reports are received, management and staff compare actual expenses to the approved budgeted expense, and, as necessary, seek additional explanation for any significant variations not already documented in the narrative report. Groundswell encourages all grantees to undertake annual audits of their overall operations, and Groundswell reserves the right to require an independent audit at its expense at any time during the project or program it is funding. This authority is set forth explicitly in the cooperation agreement entered into with each grantee. Finally, a Groundswell staff member conducts a site visit at least once during the term of all projects or programs undertaken with Groundswell funding. | ExplanationTxt |
