1 other organization in the IRS Business Master File lists the same street address. matched by us

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

• Rural Economic Development. 2,500 new lives touched by our programs. 2,672 members of our oven project communities received our ongoing support. Five households broke the poverty cycle barrier, achieving new financial security owning their own business during 2024. Our brick ovens are built for women seeking a sustainable source of income to support their families. They demonstrate an aptitude and desire to manage, maintain, and run a successful business. Furthermore, rural communities in Latin America rarely have access to fresh baked goods, many in food desert areas where the sources are limited. Breads from our ovens offer a sustainable, fresh option for the community. Our oven program provides needed resources for the whole community, giving families the opportunity to live better lives and give back to their communities. Each oven project includes the construction of a new brick oven, a processing and packaging facility and seed funding for training, business development and start-up costs. During 2024, we worked within 93 different communities throughout Costa Rica and Honduras, empowering 97 women to overcome adversity and achieve financial security. During 2024, we added 23 new families to our brick oven community, transforming each family from a life under the national extreme poverty level of $155 a month to earning over $600 a month (the national average income for rural communities). During 2024, we invested an additional $4,600 by hosting our third annual Empowering Women Entrepreneurs conference where 31 women entrepreneurs joined us for a 3-day conference of education, team building and information sharing.

• Global Leadership: In 2024, a total of 104 Youth Volunteers engaged in different community-driven initiatives. Our program promotes world peace, expands worldview, fosters cross-cultural understanding, and inspires servant leadership. In addition to one-time volunteer opportunities for youth, we offer a unique service learning opportunity for students interested in sharing their gifts and talents through both our Volunteer Trip Experiences and our Internship Program. A total of 26 youth and young adults (six local youth volunteers, and 20 youth in-country volunteers) participated in our volunteer trip experience. Our 7- to 11-day excursions cultivate a life-changing cultural exchange between recipients and volunteers, build meaningful relationships and provide opportunities that expand worldview, foster cross-cultural understanding, and inspire servant leadership. Two interns had intensive on-the-job training experiences working alongside leadership, staff, volunteers and donors.

  Expenses $8,490 · Grants $8,490

• Community Engagement: Our community events are centered around the warmth of a community bread oven. During 2024, we offered 28 baking events in two communities, reaching over 1,012 local families who participated in our mission through our baking events. We offer volunteer participation experiences and sell baked goods throughout the region. Our oven events demonstrate just how our oven recipients in rural regions of Latin America change lives with a brick and a loaf.

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.
