What (3) nonprofit organization. EIN: 47-106 does

MPact Global Action for Gay Men's Health and Rights is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2006 (originally as The Global Forum on MSM & HIV) and registered in California, USA. The organization's mission is to advance the sexual health and human rights of gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) globally. It operates a network spanning 62 countries, working directly with more than 120 community-based organizations (CBOs) on grassroots advocacy, capacity building, and policy change. The organization is led by an international Board of Directors and a regionally representative Steering Committee, with a small staff (1-10 employees) dispersed across multiple geographies.

MPact's core deliverables are a portfolio of advocacy campaigns and educational toolkits rather than a software product. Flagship assets include the MSMIT (Men Who Have Sex With Men Implementation Toolkit) available in five languages, the Building The Cultural Foundation Toolkit, the PrEP Demand Generation Training Curriculum, the Global Fund Toolkit (developed with CLAC), and the Human Rights Violation Documentation Tool. Campaigns include "Right To" (exploring the rights of people living with HIV), "Anal About My Health" (award-nominated comics on sexual health), and "QueerVax" (vaccination awareness for Hep A/B, HPV, and Mpox). Content is distributed through the mpactglobal.org website, social media, and direct engagement with partner CBOs at no cost.

The revenue model relies entirely on charitable donations and foundation/grant funding, with identified funders including the Robert Carr Fund (supporting the SHAG Consortium) and Bridging the Gaps (supporting PrEP trainings with ITPC). All resources are provided free to community-based organizations and advocates. The organization holds a Charity Navigator four-star rating and is Candid-listed, but does not publicly disclose revenue figures.
