Our Life-Affirming Vision: A just and enduring peace in Israel and Palestine founded upon equal value, security, and opportunity for all. Our Mission: Rebuilding War-Torn Communities -- Making Them Safe. Description* We believe that if our world is to meet the big challenges that face us at this time in history, we must make peace in Israel and Palestine.* We believe a childs life can be changed for good by rebuilding her/his home and neighborhood.* We believe construction is the best response to destruction, that village-centered rebuilding eases trauma, build trust, strengthen peacemakers, and press officials to keep those neighborhoods standing.The news of the year was that Rebuilding Alliance provided hygiene kits to UNRWA schools where families took shelter during the 51 days of bombing of Gaza and funds were transferred through ANERA. We then sent a 40 container of clothing to families in Gaza, in partnership with the Palestinian Red Crescent Society and ordered backpack kits with school supplies for a shipment via container in FY2016. Fiscal Year 2015 again saw our projects win the GlobalGiving.org Bonus Day Matching Grant Competitions and place in the top three in the Microsoft Youth Spark Bonus Day! A student intern held a concert to raise funds for a music center to teach violin, viola, and cello in Al Aqaba Village. Rebuilding Alliances goals for FY2016 focus primarily on project development as we expand our fundraising to send solar lights to children in Gaza to help them do their homework despite blackouts, and also in our advocacy to keep Palestinian villages standing despite demolition orders. 339913 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true true true false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 6 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 5 5 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X DONNA BARANSKI-WALKER 6503254663 178 SOUTH BOULEVARD SAN MATEO CA 94402 NADIA COOPER Chairman 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 AKBER MALIK Secretary 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JAMAL ALRADAIDEH Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 PAULA CROW BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DONNA BARANSKI WALKER Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 41760 0 0 41760 0 false false false 0 378718 378718 0 267 267 0 0 0 0 0 0 25533 17270 8263 8263 SPECIAL EVENTS 13376 13376 13376 400624 21639 267 X 34930 34930 0 101711 101711 0 41760 41760 0 58333 44239 14094 0 0 9414 8036 1378 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 26264 26264 0 0 0 0 0 629 629 0 Outside Services 29996 29996 CONSULTING SERVICES 16881 16881 TRAVEL- AIRFARE 16247 11838 4409 Printing and Publications 9584 1513 8071 39942 22745 17197 385691 339913 45778 0 65783 71221 0 13519 2693 259 0 0 0 3329 1833 0 4400 1520 3509 2880 0 0 0 0 1522 2057 76836 91769 0 0 X 76836 91769 76836 91769 76836 91769 14933 X true X false true false X 223347 162326 161217 248605 378718 1174213 0 0 223347 162326 161217 248605 378718 1174213 0 1174213 2 45 18 267 332 0 4963 3076 9776 13376 31191 1205736 0.97390 0.98140 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 4400 1520 2880 2880 -13411 PAYROLL LIABILITIES 2411 SHORT TERM LOAN 11000 true MIDDLE EAST 0 2 REBUILDING,CONSTRUCTION,SOCIAL SEE 990 PART III 4A 0 2 2 MIDDLE EAST CONSTRUCTION 101711 WIRE REBUILDING,CONS CASH 1 false false false false false false Part I, Line 2 - Grantmakers Explanation For Monitoring Use of Funds Outside US Rebuilding Alliance (RA) researched potential partners to work with in each region we have interest in expanding our work to;2.
