Through buildOn service learning programs in high schools across the U.S., urban youth are contributing intensive service, helping seniors, young children, and the homeless in their communities, and are also helping to build schools in some of the economically poorest countries on the planet. Students in buildOn programs, located in some of America's lowest performing urban high schools, have contributed more than 2.0 million hours of service. buildOn also partners these same students with developing countries in Africa, Asia, and Central America to build schools. buildOn's school construction programs have completed 1,133 schools to date. And through the unparalleled commitment of parents and grandparents to educate their children, both boys and girls, rural villages provide all the volunteer labor in collaboration with buildOn to break ground on a new school every five days. 19 17 138 2099 0 0 15761159 16384352 0 0 112801 129084 0 0 15873960 16513436 0 0 0 0 7030332 7824957 0 0 1692773 7304877 7629873 14335209 15454830 1538751 1058606 11198077 12477512 394232 304734 10803845 12172778 buildOn breaks the cycle of poverty, illiteracy and low expectations through service and education. 0 0 4649062 0 0 buildOn U.S.: buildOn's service learning programs are confronting the education crisis in the United States by addressing indicators such as truancy, graduation rates, school participation, and civic engagement. We empower youth from fractured and under-resourced neighborhoods to make a positive difference in their communities through service and education. Each week, buildOn students in 39 high schools across six regions participate in service activities to address issues in their communities such as elementary education, food insecurity, care for the elderly, support for the homeless and those in transitional housing, and environment issues and public green spaces. buildOn programming leads to the following outcomes: academic engagement, civic engagement, empowerment, expanded sense of possibilities, and personal and social development. buildOn members have contributed more than 2.0 million hours of service to their communities, and have helped build more than 1,133 schools, 205 of which were completed during 2016. With 95% of buildOn seniors graduating from high school and continuing on to college, buildOn is inspiring tomorrow's business, community, and global pioneers who believe in the power of service. 8457445 0 0 buildOn Global: Since 1991, buildOn has mobilized rural villages in some of the poorest countries in the world to build more than 1,133 schools in the following locations: Bolivia (8), Brazil (2), Burkina Faso (55), Haiti (115), India (3), Malawi (207), Mali (279), Nepal (181), Nicaragua (193), Senegal (89), and the United States (1). Many of the countries in which we work consistently rank among the lowest on the United Nation's Human Development Index, where school construction and community education are vital to long-term health, economic growth and sustainability. buildOn engages in participatory development, creating partnerships with local communities who have ownership over the projects. The true power of buildOn's methodology resides in the fact that buildOn classrooms are constructed in partnership with the very people who will be benefiting from them. When buildOn enters new countries and regions, it becomes a resource for communities who want to provide quality education for their students. Local communities initiate each project and own the school, and the ministries of education agree to provide teachers and curriculum. Additionally, buildOn's Adult Literacy Program gives parents and grandparents the education they need to build a better life for themselves and their children. Each day, more than 137,000 children, parents, and grandparents are attending buildOn schools and taking advantage of a new access to education. 0 0 0 n/a 0 0 0 13106507 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 20 0 1 138 1 0 1 HA MI ML NP NU SG UV 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 19 17 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AZ CA CO CT FL GA HI IL KS MA MD ME MI MS NC NJ NM NY OK OR PA SC TN UT VA WA WI WV X X X Marc Friedman 2033573716 800 Long Ridge Road 2nd Floor STAMFORD CT 06902 Jim Bell Director 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Diahann Billings-Burford Director 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Jeff Bornstein Director 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Kathy Cassidy Director 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Randi-Jean Hedin Director 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Suzie Ivelich Director 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Melissa McKeithen Director 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Denis Nayden Director 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Jim Parke Director 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 John Raffaeli Director 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Jim Reynolds Director 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Amnon Rodan Director 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 John Seifert Director 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Karen Seitz Director 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Melissa Taub Director 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Paul Aaron Director 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Margaret Keane Director 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Marc Friedman Chief Revenue Officer 55 0 X X 200000 0 10987 Jim Ziolkowski President & CEO 55 0 X X 247500 0 23684 Paul Boye Chief Program Officer, US 45 0 X 92659 0 21877 Rosann Jager Chief Program Officer, Global 45 0 X 109453 0 7792 Carrie Pena Chief Marketing Officer 45 0 X 144569 0 16069 Stephen Ravosa Chief Financial Officer 45 0 X 13068 0 781 Skyler Badenoch Vice President, New Business Development 45 0 X 130079 0 21483 Thomas Silverman Vice President, Community Engagement 45 0 X 112671 0 8921 1049999 0 111594 7 0 1 0 0 5307 0 1732782 0 0 14646263 640306 16384352 0 143110 0 0 143110 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4869 0 18895 0 -14026 0 -14026 0 0 -14026 949149 1732782 949149 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 16513436 0 0 129084 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1029426 732150 43252 254024 0 0 0 0 5191114 4443180 152428 595506 54136 40432 1191 12513 1107890 983307 33146 91437 442391 360143 15505 66743 0 0 0 0 3852 2843 1009 0 149282 707 148575 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 775205 641858 24415 108932 25275 2980 0 22295 283471 122721 51509 109241 106627 20337 14329 71961 0 0 0 0 169692 148179 813 20700 1748573 1584441 42559 121573 0 0 0 0 216677 83944 86923 45810 5767 0 5767 0 0 0 0 0 102487 96247 6240 0 145886 112063 8763 25060 School Construction Expenses 3425603 3415844 2375 7384 Bad Debt Expenses 110671 110671 0 0 Community Education Expenses 163983 163983 0 0 Bank Charges and Government Fees 156423 11584 7768 137071 40399 28893 8983 2523 15454830 13106507 655550 1692773 3073342 3336065 0 0 2227206 2829599 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 53580 41391 716907 424603 403156 292304 5433688 5971048 0 0 0 0 0 0 7105 7105 11198077 12477512 394232 304734 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 394232 304734 X 6481885 7601294 4321960 4571484 0 0 10803845 12172778 11198077 12477512 X 1058606 312844 0 0 0 -2517 X 1 X 1 X 1 0 X 6986127 8789431 10920612 13153350 14651570 54501090 0 0 0 0 0 0 5000 5000 5000 5000 5000 25000 6991127 8794431 10925612 13158350 14656570 54526090 3762320 50763770 145622 429616 109608 112801 129084 926731 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 55452821 9643776 0.91544 0.76580 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 5433688 100000 437360 0 0 0 5971048 5473796 0 -40108 0 0 0 5433688 5158939 0 314857 0 0 0 5473796 4395965 3563 763321 0 0 3910 5158939 3866176 0 529789 0 0 0 4395965 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 716907 0 424603 292304 0 0 0 0 292304 18035349 0 1650297 0 0 1650297 16385052 0 128384 128384 16513436 17105127 1650297 0 0 0 1650297 15454830 0 0 0 15454830 Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 The board-designated endowment is maintained to serve as a reserve for buildOn.
