Mission and programs · 2024

• WE IMPLEMENT A HOLISTIC MODEL TO MEET COMMUNITIES' HEALTH AND ECONOMIC GOALS. OUR MODEL SYSTEMATICALLY BUILDS COMMUNITY OWNERSHIP AND COLLABORATIVELY EXECUTES PROGRAMS WITH THE END GOAL OF SUSTAINABLY TRANSITIONING COMMUNITIES TO A RELATIONSHIP OF IMPACT MONITORING. WE EMPOWER PROFESSIONALS AND STUDENT VOLUNTEERS TO WORK ALONGSIDE FULL-TIME STAFF AND COMMUNITY LEADERS TO IMPLEMENT OUR MEDICAL, CLEAN WATER, SANITATION, MICROFINANCE, AND LEGAL EMPOWERMENT PROGRAMS. EXPENDITURES INCLUDE AIRFARE, MEALS, LODGING, TRANSPORT, SECURITY, TRANSLATORS, AND COORDINATION FOR OUR VOLUNTEERS, AS WELL AS STAFFING AND FOLLOW-UP FOR OUR YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS. OUR PROGRAMS WORK WITH COMMUNITIES TO CREATE SUSTAINABLE HEALTH, WASH, AND BANKING SYSTEMS, INCLUDING FULL-SCALE CLEAN WATER SYSTEMS, ACCESS TO YEAR-ROUND HEALTHCARE, ACCESS TO LOAN CAPITAL AND SAVINGS ACCOUNTS, AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF LATRINES, ECO-STOVES, AND CONCRETE FLOORS IN HOMES.

  Expenses $7,996,933 · Grants $7,628,788 · Revenue $812,504

• WITH THE INCREASE OF PROGRAMS BEING INCLUDED AS A COMPONENT OF THE REGULAR CURRICULA FOR UNIVERSITIES AND HIGHSCHOOLS WE HAVE FORMALIZED THIS AS A SEPARATE PROGRAM WHERE GLOBAL BRIGADES ENTERS INTO CONTRACTS WITH THE UNIVERSITIES/SCHOOLS TO EXECUTE PROGRAMS.

  Expenses $1,484,791 · Grants $1,334,753

• WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED A COST RECOVERY MODEL FOR CERTAIN DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS WHEREBY COMMUNITY MEMBER BENEFICIARIES WILL HELP SUBSIDIZE THE COST OF THE PROGRAM BY CONTRIBUTING FEES FOR SERVCIES PROVIDED.

  Expenses $525,942 · Grants $460,564

• TO CONTINUE EXECUTING VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, WE HAVE ADAPTED THE MEDICAL AND BUSINESS PROGRAM CURRICULA FROM IN PERSON BRIGADE PROGRAMS INTO VIRTUAL VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS (TELEBRIGADES). THE SUCCESS OF THE VIRTUAL PROGRAM HAS LED UNIVERSITIES AND SCHOOLS TO OFFER THE PROGRAMS AS A COMPLEMENTARY COMPONENT OF THEIR REGULAR COURSE OFFERINGS. EXPENSES INCLUDE VIDEOGRAPHERS, ZOOM LICENCES, AND ON THE GROUND STAFF (COORDINATORS, TRANSLATORS, DOCTORS) TO EXECUTE AND FACILITATE THE VIRTUAL PROGRAMS.

  Expenses $64,692 · Grants $64,692

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
