In 2020, student chapters received 10,759 donated professional mentor hours on projects. The value of these in-kind services is included in the 2020 audited financial statements in the amount of $1,075,900 but it is not included in Part IX of the Form 990.Desc

DescIn 2020, EWB-USA's highly-skilled volunteers worked on 493 active and on-going design & build and consulting projects and completed 65 projects in 39 countries. These efforts impacted 1,425,866 project beneficiaries. This represents an increase of 2 completed projects and an increase in impact to more than 500,000 beneficiaries over the prior year. Grants of approximately $900,000 were provided to volunteers which enabled them to complete projects during COVID when fundraising was difficult and travelling was suspended. They were able to complete the projects remotely with assistance provided from in-country staff, local contractors and non-governmental organizations. In 2020, the Uganda office responded to the COVID needs in its community by installing 200 touch-free handwashing stations in market areas. The Guatemala office responded by assisting health care facilities with national government assessments of water and sanitation. The Nicaragua office responded by providing COVID kits with hand sanitizer, faces masks and cleaning wipes to the community.Desc
