| Mission | Benetech is a nonprofit technology company that develops software applications to address pressing social needs. Based in Palo Alto, California, and founded in 1989 on the belief that the benefits of technology must reach all of humanity, the organization's social enterprise business model aims to create financially sustainable projects that measure success in the number of lives changed for the better. Each of its program areasGlobal Literacy, Human Rights, the Environment, and Benetech Labsoffers great social impact on funds invested. Witnessing the value in offering affordable tools that transform the lives of individuals with disabilities, Jim Fruchterman, the organization's founder and CEO, was inspired to start an organization that utilized technology to serve social causes. Benetechs tools have since gone to change the ways in which people with disabilities access printed information; allow frontline human rights defenders to safely document abuse; and empower environmental prac | MissionDesc |

| Desc | Human Rights: Benetech's Human Rights Program (HRP) advances the global human rights movement by providing and supporting effective, secure, and open information management and data collection technology for rights defenders, fieldworkers, researchers, and journalists.Martus: Martus enables grassroots NGOs to securely catalogue and store their records on off-site servers with easy-to-use software, preserving crucial evidence for research, investigation and prosecutions. The application was developed by Benetech, is available in thirteen languages (English, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, French, Thai, Nepali, Burmese, Armenian, Farsi/Dari, Khmer, Vietnamese, and Chinese (Mandarin, Simplified)) and is made available at no cost for human rights defenders. Martus automatically encrypts the information and copies it to a network of secure servers around the world. The system is designed so that only the user who created it-not even Benetech-is given access to the encrypted data. Since the data is backed up, users can retrieve their information when and where it is safe to do so. Martus helps those who collect this valuable human rights information stay safe, while also protecting the identities of those who would otherwise face violence and repression for telling their stories. The Martus software has been downloaded by people and organizations in over 100 countries and is available for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. In addition, to the desktop application, the Martus ecosystem also includes Mobile Martus-Benetech's free, open source secure Android-based mobile documentation application, built on our Martus technology. Mobile Martus brings secure data collection, storage and backup one step closer to the field. It allows a user to send data from the field-including photos, videos, audio or text-to a desktop Martus account. In addition to developing software for the human rights field, the Benetech Human Rights Program team has provided training and support to users in over 50 countries. | Desc |

| Desc | Benetech Labs: Benetech Labs was established in order to create new technology enterprises for social impact. In partnership with communities of field leaders and stakeholders, technologists, and social entrepeneurs, the Labs is where the Benetech team openly catalyzes high-impact solutions that change lives.SocialCoding4Good: SocialCoding4Good, created in 2011, is aimed at dramatically reshaping the tech volunteer landscape. There are many nonprofits and social-good programs in the world that need the help of professional technologists, but their resources dont often allow for it. As a result, the causes theyre working on from civic engagement and education, to poverty alleviation and the environmentsuffer. At the same time, professional technologists are eager to help work on these important social challenges, but often struggle to find the right match for both their passion and skills. Using a web-based platform, SocialCoding4Good collects information on both volunteer technologists and programs with need so that our community managers can connect these professionals with opportunities that are the right fit. In this way, volunteers get to work on the humanitarian open source software projects that would most benefit from their time and talent. By bridging the corporate, nonprofit and technology communities, SocialCoding4Good brings together the best and brightest to generate meaningful and sustainable collaborations for social good.Tools for Clean Water Organizations: Water is one of the most basic requirements for life. All too often, however, we struggle to deliver clean, safe water to communities. This is especially true in the developing world, where access to clean, safe water is one of the most pressing environmental and health issues of our time. Why do some communities, even in poor, rural areas, succeed at delivering clean water and implementing sanitation systems while others fail? Benetech, in partnership with Fundacin Avina, began exploring this question, focusing on rural communities in Latin America. Currently Benetech is integrating an assessment methodology developed by Avina with an open source data collection platform for mobile devices and desktop computers that will work both online and offline and is straightforward and easy to use. By collecting survey data digitally and constructing a profile for each organization in an intuitive dashboard format, the tool will provide immediate feedback and will reduce the resources required for data collection and modeling. Looking forward, this information will enable the customized delivery of digital training materials, which will make training materials already developed by Avina more accessible and relevant to specific communities. | Desc |

| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description | OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Route 66 Literacy: Route 66 Literacy is a web-based program that makes it easy for any literate person to teach adolescent and adult beginning readers with developmental disabilities to read. The program combines engaging, age-appropriate lessons, exercises and effective feedback with a unique teacher-tutor modelone that requires no special training. By incorporating expert pedagogy and one to one interaction, Route 66 Literacy creates new pathways for beginning readers to gain independence and to pursue further educational and vocational opportunities.

In partnership with communities of field leaders and stakeholders, technologists, and social entrepeneurs, the Labs is where the Benetech team openly catalyzes high-impact solutions that change lives.SocialCoding4Good: SocialCoding4Good, created in 2011, is aimed at dramatically reshaping the tech volunteer landscape. There are many nonprofits and social-good programs in the world that need the help of professional technologists, but their resources dont often allow for it. As a result, the causes theyre working on from civic engagement and education, to poverty alleviation and the environmentsuffer. At the same time, professional technologists are eager to help work on these important social challenges, but often struggle to find the right match for both their passion and skills. Using a web-based platform, SocialCoding4Good collects information on both volunteer technologists and programs with need so that our community managers can connect these professionals with opportunities that are the right fit. In this way, volunteers get to work on the humanitarian open source software projects that would most benefit from their time and talent. By bridging the corporate, nonprofit and technology communities, SocialCoding4Good brings together the best and brightest to generate meaningful and sustainable collaborations for social good.Tools for Clean Water Organizations: Water is one of the most basic requirements for life. All too often, however, we struggle to deliver clean, safe water to communities. This is especially true in the developing world, where access to clean, safe water is one of the most pressing environmental and health issues of our time. Why do some communities, even in poor, rural areas, succeed at delivering clean water and implementing sanitation systems while others fail? Benetech, in partnership with Fundacin Avina, began exploring this question, focusing on rural communities in Latin America. Currently Benetech is integrating an assessment methodology developed by Avina with an open source data collection platform for mobile devices and desktop computers that will work both online and offline and is straightforward and easy to use. By collecting survey data digitally and constructing a profile for each organization in an intuitive dashboard format, the tool will provide immediate feedback and will reduce the resources required for data collection and modeling. Looking forward, this information will enable the customized delivery of digital training materials, which will make training materials already developed by Avina more accessible and relevant to specific communities. |
