    The organization has a decentralized network structure with state chapters that implement programs, independent trusts for local fundraising, and international chapters for overseas fundraising. Leadership takes a hands-off approach inspired by Lao Tsu to empower others. Non-core programs were spun off into separate organizations. The open platform model relies on 463,000 volunteers and 4,000 employees. Funding comes primarily from overseas diaspora and corporations through organizations like Pratham USA. The budget was around $20 million in 2008-2009, about 0.1% of the government education budget, but faced issues during global recessions when goals were too specific rather than focusing on education broadly.
