(EWB-USA) builds a better world through engineering projects that empower communities to meet their basic human needs and equip leaders to solve the world's most pressing challenges. 0 0 6028834 440618 EWB-USA programs are full partnerships with a host community and one or more local nongovernmental organizations. EWB-USA's 3,666 volunteers work alongside local community members to design and build each project, while equipping them to operate and maintain the project for years to come. 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. 355626 103922 In 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. 6384460 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 4 0 1 47 1 0 1 UG NU 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 12 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X Donna Driscoll 3037722723 1031 33rd Street No 210 Denver CO 802052767 Brian P Reilly President 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Frank Preli President Elect 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Randy Over Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Jody K Debs Past President 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Linda McGoldrick Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jon Hurt Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Leah Jamieson Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Christopher Lombardo Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Nicole Trenchard Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ron Welch Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Tom Rebbecchi Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Veronica Cavallaro Chief Operating Officer 40.00 X 174933 0 18323 Jacqueline O'Brien CEO effective 8/1/20 40.00 X 83107 0 1443 Catherine A Leslie Secretary/Exec Director thru 7/1/20 40.00 X 153964 0 5017 Donna Driscoll CFO 40.00 X 98629 0 14098 Melissa J Montgomery Chief Design & Build Programs Officer 40.00 X 138207 0 13268 Clare Haas Claveau Comm Engineering Corps Dir 40.00 X 137652 0 22377 Andrew Schaefer Chief Development Office thru 7/1/20 40.00 X 110606 0 5203 897098 0 79729 5 0 1 0 0 74388 518240 5085051 740388 5677679 Other Income 561499 103922 103922 103922 54101 54101 378 -378 -378 -378 5835324 103922 0 53723 X 71306 71306 369312 369312 549515 427749 121766 2503863 1932451 150172 421240 274130 176332 47616 50182 262075 175451 45911 40713 275 275 7500 7500 1330915 1276159 38055 16701 17546 7546 10000 503941 436156 15259 52526 121264 91002 15166 15096 377484 369507 1158 6819 29808 27517 1107 1184 52824 33838 9515 9471 97076 88708 3284 5084 Project expenses 1319517 1319517 Dues and subscriptions 11089 9383 785 921 7899440 6384460 765777 749203 3926939 4538574 315090 1437243 2917874 619480 82648 0 404491 269423 293104 237625 108302 55479 2822215 1854698 238733 150494 10816292 8925391 395051 180523 503679 284744 238733 758394 1137463 1223661 X 802720 941116 8876109 6760614 9678829 7701730 10816292 8925391 -2064116 87017 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 4708641 5987943 10638478 8503935 5677679 35516676 4708641 5987943 10638478 8503935 5677679 35516676 8132349 27384327 49899 43699 49076 77141 54101 273916 35790592 834573 0.76510 0.79750 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 99997 75110 24887 1563 1303 260 191544 161212 30332 55479 Funds held on behalf of EWB-International 150494 Refundable advance - PPP loan 607900 758394 6998241 87017 1075900 1162917 5835324 0 5835324 8975340 1075900 1075900 7899440 0 7899440 1 Central America and the Caribbean 1 6 Program Services See Part V.
