• INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM: THE INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM FOCUSES ON THE AREAS OF SOLAR POWER AND WASH (WATER, SANITATION, AND HYGIENE). IN 2025, BBF SUPPORTED INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS IN GHANA, LIBERIA, AND INDIA.1. SOLAR: BBF HAS BEEN WORKING WITH PARTNERS TO HELP INSTALL SOLAR PANEL SYSTEMS SINCE EARLY 2013. THE PROGRAM BEGAN WITH SUPPLYING BATTERIES TO SIX HOSPITALS IN LIBERIA AND SINCE THEN HAS GROWN IN SIZE AND SCOPE. THE RURAL HEALTH CLINICS THAT RECEIVE THESE SOLAR POWER SYSTEMS OFTEN DID NOT PREVIOUSLY HAVE ACCESS TO A RELIABLE POWER SOURCE. THESE INSTALLATIONS HAVE NOW ENABLED THE CLINICS TO ALSO REFRIGERATE MEDICINES AND PROVIDE SERVICES SUCH AS ATTENDING TO EXPECTANT MOTHERS DURING NON-DAYLIGHT HOURS. THE PROGRAM HAS EQUIPPED MORE THAN 90 CLINICS AND HOSPITALS IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA, INDIA, AND PUERTO RICO IN COLLABORATION WITH PARTNERS.2. WASH: ACCESS TO WASH (WATER, SANITATION, AND HYGIENE) HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A KEY HUMANITARIAN ISSUE AND AN INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH PRIORITY. THESE INITIATIVES HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH IMPROVING HEALTH, LIFE EXPECTANCY, STUDENT LEARNING, AND GENDER EQUALITY. ADDITIONALLY, STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT THEY ARE INSTRUMENTAL IN REDUCING ILLNESS AND DEATH, WHILE HELPING REDUCE POVERTY AND IMPROVING SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

As filed on the 2025 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

The first 25 listed. 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.
