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 we completed all three homes in our Rebuilding to Remain affordable housing pilot project and all three families moved in. We also continued a vibrant speaker series at our shop in San Mateo. Fiscal Year 2014 saw two new projects win the GlobalGiving.org Bonus Day Matching Grant Competitions and others place in the top three! With the funds we raised on GlobalGiving.org, Rebuilding Alliance:1)An architect completed the green design of the Rural Womens Center in Al Aqaba Village;2)We advanced our U.S. Movement to Save Palestinian Villages to launch our Stay Human Conference Call series; and3)We worked with Combatants for Peace to plan construction of the 3rd playground in memory of Abir Aramin.Rebuilding Alliances goals for FY2015 focus primarily on project development as we expand our fundraising to do more construction projects and expand our advocacy initiatives to include design of a mobile app for registration for our Stay Human Conference Call series, and consider direct aid projects to respond to great need. 178693 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 false false false false false false false false false true 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 President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JESSICA RUBAII Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CARIN PACIFICO Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 AKBER MALIK BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JEREMY MCCLAIN BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DONNA BARANSKI WALKER Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 23674 0 0 23674 0 false false false 0 248605 248605 0 18 18 0 0 0 0 0 0 44038 34776 9262 9262 SPECIAL EVENTS 9776 9776 9776 267661 19038 18 X 0 0 47465 47465 0 23674 23674 0 76437 59426 14074 2937 0 0 9285 7607 1388 290 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 20550 20550 2067 981 1086 0 200 200 0 0 629 629 0 Outside Services 6981 4289 2692 TRANSPORTATION 6232 6065 167 Printing and Publications 3219 293 293 2633 THIRTY HOMES IN AQABA 3183 3183 24048 4960 12965 6123 223970 178693 30602 14675 28664 65783 0 0 3010 2693 0 0 0 3698 3329 0 4400 891 4138 3509 0 0 0 0 1000 1522 40510 76836 2534 3450 1381 7365 0 X 33145 76836 33145 76836 40510 76836 43691 X true X false true false X 150103 223347 162326 161217 248605 945598 0 0 150103 223347 162326 161217 248605 945598 0 945598 2 45 18 65 0 4963 3076 9776 17815 963478 0.98140 0.99080 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 4400 891 3509 3509 true MIDDLE EAST 0 2 REBUILDING,CONSTRUCTION,SOCIAL SEE 990 PART III 4A 52623 2 2 52623 52623 MIDDLE EAST CONSTRUCTION 47465 WIRE REBUILDING,CONS CASH 1 false false false false false false Part I, Line 2 - Grantmakers Explanation For Monitoring Use of Funds Outside US The Rebuilding Alliance (RA) researched potential partners to work with in each region we have interest in expanding our work to;2.
