Through buildOn afterschool 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 poorest countries on the planet. Students in buildOn programs, located in 51 of America's lowest performing urban high schools, have contributed a staggering 1,256,483 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 620 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 17 109 550 0 0 8528142 10289394 0 0 146534 429617 0 0 8674676 10719011 0 0 0 0 5048973 6068893 0 0 1203026 3400518 4134950 8449491 10203843 225185 515168 7711495 8364674 496185 280967 7215310 8083707 buildOn breaks the cycle of poverty, illiteracy and low expectations through service and education. 0 0 4576001 0 0 US Afterschool Program: buildOn is 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 engagement activities. Each week, buildOn students in 51 schools across 7 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 students also participate in academic engagement and service-learning activities each week. 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 1.2 million hours of service to their communities, and have helped build more than 620 schools around the world that bring access to education to 86,000 people daily. 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. 3963040 0 0 International School Construction Program: Since 1992, buildOn has has mobilized rural villages in some of the poorest countries in the world to build more than 620 schools in Haiti, Malawi, Mali, Nepal, Nicaragua, and Senegal. 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, 86,000 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 8539041 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 12 0 1 109 1 0 1 HA MI ML NP NU SG 0 0 1 1 0 X 19 17 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL OK FL OR UT AZ GA ME PA VA CA HI MD NJ WA CO MA NM WV IL MI NY SC WI CT NC MS TN X X X Stephanie Skryzowski 2036029342 800 Long Ridge Road 2nd Floor STAMFORD CT 06902 Amin Aladdin Director 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 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 Marc Friedman Chief Operating Officer 55 0 X X 156456 0 8170 Randi-Jean Hedin Director 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Suzie Ivelich Director 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Dennis Kass Director 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Melissa Kiernan Director 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Erich Mauff Director 0.25 X 0 0 0 John Myers Director 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Denis Nayden Director 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Jim Parke Director 0.50 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 Karen Seitz Director 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Melissa Thomson Director 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Jim Ziolkowski President & CEO 55 0 X X X 210000 0 22082 Rosann Jager Vice President - International Programs 45 0 X 85000 0 6765 Ryan Quiel Chief Marketing Officer 45 0 X 57769 0 6296 Melissa Shields Vice President - U.S. Programs 45 0 X 89573 0 12833 Andrew Simpson Chief Marketing Officer 45 0 X 77324 0 15293 Stephanie Skryzowski Chief Financial Officer 45 0 X 101009 0 17291 777131 0 88730 6 0 1 0 0 5288 0 1499963 0 346663 8437480 234476 10289394 0 93264 0 0 93264 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 411521 0 75168 0 336353 0 336353 0 0 336353 513940 1499963 513940 0 0 0 0 10719011 0 0 429617 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 865862 623780 51330 190752 0 0 0 0 4128018 3476821 129628 521569 54566 48284 1538 4744 592763 542082 11373 39308 427684 351802 15350 60532 0 0 0 0 3373 3373 0 0 38985 178 38737 70 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 415364 376694 343 38327 4544 1868 0 2676 261865 91859 16243 153763 92145 10106 14840 67199 0 0 0 0 49532 49519 13 0 1228853 1159939 698 68216 0 0 0 0 82962 52517 5870 24575 5498 0 5498 0 0 0 0 0 67555 41959 17531 8065 131091 70791 60300 0 Financial Aid & Recruitment Fees 17016 11189 1612 4215 Bad Debt 197801 113485 84316 0 Bank Charges & Government Fees 18177 13121 5017 39 School House Construction 1520189 1499674 1539 18976 10203843 8539041 461776 1203026 1573257 849502 20620 435391 1421723 1621223 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 59938 91295 371703 215345 196656 156358 4395965 5158939 0 0 0 0 0 0 43336 51966 7711495 8364674 496185 280967 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 496185 280967 X 4730014 4813664 2485296 3270043 0 0 7215310 8083707 7711495 8364674 X 515168 344890 0 0 0 8339 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 4455627 4767337 5524322 6986127 8789431 30522844 0 0 0 0 0 0 5000 5000 5000 5000 5000 25000 4460627 4772337 5529322 6991127 8794431 30547844 5591191 24956653 74388 61149 71961 145622 429616 782736 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 31330580 7263236 0.79656 0.76343 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 4395965 3563 763321 0 0 3910 5158939 3866176 0 529789 0 0 0 4395965 3533502 400000 -67326 0 0 0 3866176 3254056 0 279446 0 0 0 3533502 2562071 0 691985 0 0 0 3254056 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 371703 0 215345 156358 0 0 0 0 156358 12205471 353231 1141569 0 0 1494800 10710671 0 8340 8340 10719011 11345412 1141569 0 0 0 1141569 10203843 0 0 0 10203843 Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 The board designated endowment is maintained to sustain growth at buildOn.
