What is Global Citizen?
Headquartered in New York City, Global Citizen operates as a pivotal force in the non-profit landscape, bridging the gap between grassroots activism and enterprise-level social impact. With a workforce of 50 to 99 professionals and annual revenue streams ranging between 5M and 10M, the organization maintains a sophisticated infrastructure designed to mobilize resources and influence policy on a global scale.
