This address is a suite or unit (STE 1000). Organizations that share one are often clients of the same office-services firm, accountant or registered agent rather than related to each other.

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

• WE BELIEVE WE ARE AMONGST THE LEADING NGOS TO PROVIDE TAILOR-MADE SOLUTIONS AND RELEVANT PROGRAMS TO BRIDGE THE GAPS AND RESPOND TO THE REAL NEEDS AND CHALLENGES OF THE COMMUNITIES. OUR AIM IS TO PROVOKE SIGNIFICANT POSITIVE CHANGE, ENABLING PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE YOUTH AND YOUNG WOMEN TO TAKE CONTROL OF THEIR LIVES AND FULFILL THEIR SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC RIGHTS.RET FOCUSES PRIMARILY ON THE TWO PILLARS OF YOUTH AND WOMEN, AS THEY REPRESENT AMONG THE MOST VULNERABLE POPULATIONS DURING CRISES, AS WELL AS THE GREATEST VECTORS OF POSITIVE SOCIAL CHANGE.WE BELIEVE OUR HUMANITARIAN ACTIONS DURING EMERGENCIES, IN PROTRACTED CRISES, AND IN FRAGILE CONTEXTS CAN ALLEVIATE THE DEEPEST SUFFERINGS AND CAN BUILD PEOPLE'S RESILIENCE AND ENHANCE THEIR SELF-RELIANCE. WE STAND WITH PEOPLE, WITH REFUGEES, RETURNEES, MIGRANTS AND INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS (IDP'S), ALONGSIDE THE HOST COMMUNITIES ADOPTING THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF HUMANITY, IMPARTIALITY, NEUTRALITY, AND INDEPENDENCE.DURING THE 12 MONTHS ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2024, RET AMERICAS WAS ENGAGED IN THREE PROJECTS, ALL BASED IN PERU. THE LARGEST OF THESE PROJECTS, WHICH HAD STARTED IN 2022 AND ENDED IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2024, WAS ADMINISTERED BY UNICEF WITH FUNDING PROVIDED BY "EDUCATION CANNOT WAIT" (ECW), A GLOBAL FUND INTENDED TO PROVIDE CHILDREN AND YOUTH IN ARMED CONFLICTS, FORCED DISPLACEMENT AND PROTRACTED CRISES WITH THE SAFETY, HOPE AND OPPORTUNITY OF AN EDUCATION. ECW PROJECTS ARE DESIGNED TO PROMOTE INCLUSIVE EDUCATION WITH EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR MIGRANT AND REFUGEE CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS AND HOST COMMUNITIES. RET AMERICAS ALSO HAD ANOTHER PROJECT WITH A SIMILAR THEME THAT WAS FINANCED DIRECTLY BY UNESCO. THIS 2-MONTH PROJECT REQUIRED RET TO PROVIDE ADVICE ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PROJECTS DESIGNED TO PROMOTE INTEGRATION AMONG REFUGEE, MIGRANT AND HOST POPULATIONS IN THE CITIES OF TRUJILLO AND AREQUIP IN PERU. IN OCTOBER 2024, RET STARTED A NEW 3-YEAR ECW "RESILIENCY" PROJECT DESIGNED TO ENSURE THAT REFUGEES, MIGRANTS AND ADOLESCENTS RECEIVE AN INCLUSIVE, QUALITY AND EQUITABLE EDUCATION IN THEIR HOST COUNTRY, AND FEEL HAPPY AND SAFE AT SCHOOL.FOR MOST PROJECTS RET AMERICAS HAS 10 TO 20 EMPLOYEES BASED IN EACH PROJECT LOCATION, INCLUDING HIGHLY TRAINED STAFF FAMILIAR WITH THE COMPLEX AND DELICATE TASK OF WORKING WITH YOUTH WHO HAVE IN SOME CASES SUFFERED MULTIPLE TRAUMAS AS A RESULT OF CONFLICTS AND OTHER DISLOCATING FACTORS ENTIRELY OUTSIDE THEIR CONTROL. THE CRITICAL WORK OF THESE FIELD STAFF IS SUPPLEMENTED AS NECESSARY BY OTHER COMPANY SPECIALISTS BASED IN THE REGIONAL OFFICE IN PANAMA OR THE COMPANY'S HQ IN SWITZERLAND. THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE PROGRAMS ARE THEREFORE PRIMARILY STAFF COSTS, EDUCATIONAL EXPENSES INCLUDING THE COSTS OF HIRING OUTSIDE CONSULTANTS AND TRAVEL COSTS.

  Expenses $105,475

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. 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.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 2 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

No itemized grant names this organization as a recipient. Only grants over $5,000 are itemized, and only by filers of the full Form 990.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.
