| SCHEDULE F, PART 1, LINE 2 | Unbound sends a wire transfer to projects located in 20 countries on a monthly basis. the monthly transfer includes the projects allocation of sponsorship funds in three categories: children, aging and vocations (where applicable). The monthly transfer also includes birthday funds. Money is sent at the appropriate times for service-scholarships and Christmas. There might be additional restricted funds sent as unbound grants or because of sponsors extra donations for specific family or project needs beyond what the sponsorship program covers. Unbound monitors the projects use of these funds in a variety of ways. Projects are required to provide monthly financial information to Unbounds office in Kansas City, Kansas, including: A. transaction-level financial detail B. project bank statements and bank reconciliations C. cash reserves report The projects are also required to submit or make available the following documents on an annual basis: a. annual budget b. asset listing c. government-required external audit d. any other financial reports filed with their governments For special money gifts over $100, projects are required to acknowledge the expenditures to the donors. There are five regional accountants in the international programs department at unbound. Each has responsibility for a number of projects, and reviews the monthly transactions and reports on a regular basis for timeliness, accuracy, completeness, and compliance with unbound financial and program policy. Regular feedback is given to the projects. Staff representatives from the unbound headquarters office visit each project at least once per year to assess program and administrative performance, visit program beneficiaries in their homes, and provide support and training to project teams. Formal performance audits are performed periodically, typically once every two years. In addition, the unbound finance department has a team of internal auditors who regularly audit the projects internal controls, processes and procedures, and the accuracy of their recordkeeping. They have established a schedule for auditing each project on a regular basis. There are other processes, too, through which unbound is able to monitor the project performance and adherence to unbound policies. Unbound requires an updated annual photo of each sponsored member, and has processes to assure the authenticity of every photo. Unbound requires each sponsored member to write to his or her sponsor at least twice each year. The letters are regularly reviewed on a sample basis before being sent to sponsors. Sponsors eagerly anticipate letters from their sponsored friends. Unbound organizes group trips called awareness trips (at) and facilitates individual sponsor visits to a number of the projects each year. Unbound encourages all sponsors to visit their sponsored friends and view firsthand the work of the projects. In 2015, 988 sponsored children and elderly were visited. |

| Explanation | In 2015, Anabella Wasserman, wife of Scott Wasserman, President/CEO of Unbound, traveled internationally with Mr. Wasserman and other Unbound staff to participate in project mentoring/monitoring and sponsor awareness trips to various Unbound projects. Unbound compensated Ms. Wasserman for her time as an independent contractor and paid for her airfare because her participation was for bona fide business purposes. Ms. Wassermans long standing relationship with Unbound, previous involvement leading several church mission trips, being a native of Guatemala and being bi-lingual are just a few of the many attributes that enable her to work successfully and to help Unbound build meaningful relationships with project staff, awareness trip participants and sponsored families. | ExplanationTxt |

| FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 | Unbound provides financial support, services and encouragement to individuals and their families living on the margins of society in 20 countries around the world. We serve more than 300,000 children, youth and elderly people with the support of more than 260,000 sponsors, mostly from the UNITED STATES Through education, livelihood opportunities, and help with food and other necessities. the personalized support offered through Unbound is designed to help people break through poverty to create better futures for their families and communities. Unbounds mission is to walk with the poor and marginalized of the world. 1. We provide personal attention and direct benefits to children, youth, the aging and their families so they may live with dignity, achieve their desired potential and participate fully in society. 2. We invite people of goodwill to live in daily solidarity with the worlds poor through one-to-one sponsorship. 3. We build community by fostering relationships of mutual respect, understanding and support that are culturally diverse, empowering and without religious or other prejudice. Grounded in the Gospel call to serve the poor, Unbound works with persons of all faith traditions to create a worldwide community of compassion and service. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | Total grants for the sponsorship program were $101.3 million in 2015. At the end of 2015, a total of 313,658 individuals were sponsored through Unbound. They included 284,989 children and youth, 28,374 elders and 295 candidates studying for religious vocations. Sponsored individuals and their families were served through Unbound projects in Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti (for the first half of 2015), Honduras, India, Kenya, Madagascar, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, the Philippines, Tanzania, Uganda and Venezuela. Following are examples of achievements in the sponsorship program as Unbound works with individuals and families to break the cycle of poverty. Unbounds sponsorship program helps individuals and their families in 20 countries on a path out of poverty by connecting them with individual sponsors and supportive local communities of staff members and other families. Sponsors, through a monthly financial contribution and letters, experience other cultures, friendship with someone in another part of the world and a practical way to make a lasting difference in the life of a child or elder. Sponsors who travel on Unbound awareness trips may meet their sponsored friends, learn about their lives and see firsthand the difference their support makes. In 2015, 644 people participated in 28 trips in 14 countries. Families participating in the sponsorship program use financial assistance to help with needs like education, nutrition, housing improvements, clothing and health care - in addition to leadership and economic development opportunities such as financial literacy, youth retreats and skill development for parents. Sponsorship requires active participation from families as they take a central role in selecting benefits for their children and building stronger communities. Sponsored individuals and their families partner with Unbound to make program and benefit decisions that help meet their basic needs and develop their potential over the course of their time in the program, sometimes 18 years or more. Outcomes vary by location but typically include education, leadership development, improved health and nutrition status, dignified housing, skill development and increased income through livelihood opportunities for families. Through Unbounds sponsorship program, families have more choices in their lives and are empowered, over time, to create a path out of poverty. Monitoring program success Monitoring and evaluation of programs Unbound is committed to learning from our work and ensuring that the work makes a positive impact in the lives of children, families and elders around the world. The organization asks two basic questions to earn donor trust and be at our best for those we work with: 1. Did we do what we said we were going to do? This is program monitoring. 2. Did it make a difference? This is program evaluation. Unbound distinguishes between monitoring and evaluation and maintains separate but complementary strategies. Monitoring: The principal purpose of monitoring is accountability. Regular program monitoring is conducted to ensure fidelity in the organizational structure, development of programs, implementation of policies and the appropriate use of finances. Some of this monitoring happens across distance with regular reporting, emails and phone calls. Much of it happens with personal, on-site visits from Unbound's Kansas City headquarters staff. Unbounds monitoring strategy includes: 1. Project visits made annually to each project for staff development, program support and assessments 2. Financial audits conducted in each project 3. Program audits conducted in each project 4. Awareness trips and individual sponsor visit opportunities Evaluation: Learning is the focus of program evaluation. Unbounds personalized approach to sponsorship requires a unique and creative approach to evaluation. The organization has developed a three-tier system to evaluate the outcomes of the Unbound sponsorship program to address the learning and decision-making needs at all levels: individual, project/program and global. Individual outcomes: Letters from sponsored individuals to their sponsors provide direct feedback about how the relationships and support make a difference. Sponsored children and youth, for example, often write about how they are progressing in school or how the benefits of the program impact them and their families. Program outcomes: Programs at the project level are tailored to the needs of sponsored individuals and their families and the initiatives of Unbound in their communities. Families work with program staff to define and measure outcomes and utilize the results for continuous program improvement. With training and technical support from the evaluation team, these locally directed evaluations ask questions like: What is the program accomplishing? How are families different now? What could we do better? |
| Global outcomes: | As an international organization, Unbound also recognizes the need to step back periodically and look at the big picture. Global evaluations explore questions of organizational outcomes for all program participants across borders and in every region. These broad assessments help us tell our collective story and understand the effectiveness of our approach in key areas such as educational attainment, economic self-sufficiency, empowerment of mothers and community participation. Each tier of our evaluation framework is important to understanding the whole of Unbounds impact and its complex contribution to individual goals around the world. Governing board's role in monitoring outcomes On behalf of sponsors and those who are sponsored, the governing board of Unbound rigorously monitors the integrity and accountability of the organization's operations. The board proactively defines the outcomes expected from the organization. Management must then produce verifiable data proving progress toward the expected outcomes. Management chooses the means to achieve the boards ends. However, the board sets ethical and prudent limits on which means management may use to achieve the boards ends. The board systematically monitors compliance with these executive limitations. As a result, the board confidently assures donors that their contributions achieve their promised objectives, and that the organization remains transparent and ethical. Monitoring activities and evaluation methods Unbound conducts financial and program audits of projects on a regular basis to ensure financial resources provide intended benefits and services and sponsored members are empowered to direct their own development. In addition, almost all projects receive at least one visit by headquarters staff every year. Staff members also accompany sponsors on Unbound awareness trips visiting projects and families in the Unbound program. In 2015, headquarters staff spent 1,407 total days in the field monitoring and supporting programs. In addition, the organization performs quality checks on letters and photos from sponsored friends to their sponsors, and monitors member retirement rates and sponsor retention rates. Unbound collects educational attendance and performance data and documents the final education level achieved by sponsored members leaving the program. Unbound projects around the world conduct evaluations in their local contexts to determine outcomes for sponsored members and their families. Methods include surveys of sponsored members on income and skill development, focus groups on attitudes and behavioral changes, and interviews to document empowerment. Organization-wide program evaluations focus on four key domains: education, economic status, community participation and empowerment. Empowerment refers to ones ability to make decisions for oneself and act freely in a way that is intentional and goal-oriented. Examples of program success Sponsorship helps children achieve a level of education that prepares them to compete with peers for jobs and be educated community members, parents and leaders. At a global level, at the point of leaving the program, 75 percent of sponsored children achieve a level of schooling comparative to or above national peer averages. This means that Unbound students - who experience marginalization based on economic, social and geographic factors - are able to compete and excel alongside students from all socioeconomic brackets and areas within their countries. Of these former sponsored children, 51 percent achieve educational levels a year or more above their national peer averages. The number jumps to 59 percent achieving a year or more above their national peer averages when looking at the experience of sponsored girls. This, along with country-level analysis, indicates a specific impact on girls education and a closing or reversing of the prominent gender gap present in many communities. In Guatemala, for example, sponsored children, on average, achieve almost three years of schooling more than the national average for their peers. And in Unbound's Quezon program in the Philippines, 57 percent of sponsored youth pursue tertiary education compared to 30 percent of their peers. Sponsorship impacts the sponsored child and the entire family. Unbounds direct work through a personalized benefit model and parent groups means families are able to best allocate resources for their children and direct how the program supports their development as families. As of September 2014, 77 percent of all Unbound sponsored members participated in the program through small groups. These groups provide the space for families to have a voice in the program and be part of a supportive community, addressing two significant components of poverty: lack of choices and isolation. In 2013, Unbound conducted a global evaluation of participation and empowerment indicators across all regions where Unbound works. A random sample of 697 participants revealed that three-fourths of all parents actively decide what their children will receive as benefits and more than 40 percent are creating personal budgets and contributing regularly to savings accounts to build financial resiliency. In addition, 90 percent of mothers of sponsored children believe they have the power to change their familys situation, while 70 percent speak up about their ideas and opinions and 63 percent are active in solving problems in their communities. Unbound is in the midst of a six-year longitudinal data collection on economic outcomes for sponsored members and their families. The evaluation includes both quantitative and qualitative data and follows families from the time they begin the program. Finally, various project (community) level evaluations are ongoing and led by program staff in each country. An evaluation in Nairobi, Kenya, for example, found that 85 percent of those taking small loans from mothers groups developed or boosted a small enterprise to support their families all or partly because of the loan. In Merida, Mexico, a recent shift in the benefit delivery model to a personalized approach was found to increase the diversity of benefits by 57 percent, indicating both greater voice and decision-making for families as well as a stronger fit between resources and needs. As part of the evaluation, however, the Merida team found that individuals rarely had clearly defined goals for their long-term benefit choices, and the team will now be working with families on goal-setting. Feedback from sponsors Unbound recognizes sponsors and other benefactors not merely as donors but, first and foremost, as highly valued and respected members of the Unbound community. At Unbound, we believe that both sponsors and sponsored persons have something to gain from the sponsorship relationship, and toward that end we are committed to helping sponsors become more aware of the realities of global poverty and grow in human solidarity. We take exceptional care in our communications with sponsors, whether dealing with routine account matters or in the production of publications and web content. We want our sponsors to be well informed about what happens in our programs so that they understand how their contributions are being used and become more invested in the lives of those they help. Feedback we receive from Unbound sponsors testifies to the efficacy of this respectful approach. Surveys of random sponsors conducted over the years consistently reflect high satisfaction with our work. In the most recent survey (spring 2014), 94 percent of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that Unbounds outreach to families living in poverty is effective and 79 percent felt they were treated as partners in that outreach. Unbound maintains a high sponsor retention rate. We ended 2015 with a retention rate of 91.36 percent. Even those who end their sponsorships (many for financial reasons) generally approve of the organization. In a survey of discontinuing sponsors, 90.24 percent of respondents stated that they were satisfied to very satisfied with their sponsorship experience. Another indicator of a quality sponsor experience is the number of people, more than 30,000 in 2015, who sponsor more than one child or elderly person through our organization. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B | Following are examples of achievements in education support as Unbound works with students in our service-scholarship program. Education support provided by Unbound's service-scholarship program helps talented older students who, because of economic circumstances, are struggling to continue their educations. The program is founded on the principles of perseverance, leadership and service to the community. The service-scholarship program complements the education support provided by the Unbound sponsorship program, with 47 percent of scholarship students also sponsored. Unbound scholarships have helped students in communities around the world achieve their educational goals. Students are able to complete their educations, follow their chosen career paths and be of service to the larger community. Scholarships are used for needs such as secondary, post-secondary and vocational school tuition, transportation, school supplies and books. Recipients are selected by local program staffs based on economic need, commitment to completing their educations, demonstrated leadership potential and interest in community service. Scholars participate in service projects as a requirement of the program. Scholarships are intended as supplemental assistance, and students and their families contribute what they can toward educational costs. In 2015, scholarship grants to Unbound field offices totaled more than $2.5 million. Scholarships were awarded to 7,818 students in Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, India, Kenya, Madagascar, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, the Philippines, Tanzania, Uganda and Venezuela. Many scholars, 47 percent, are sponsored youth who need extra financial help in addition to sponsorship support to complete their educations. Non-sponsored older students identified by local Unbound staffs as being in need of educational assistance and having a desire to serve their communities are eligible for scholarships and represent 53 percent of the scholarships awarded. The service requirement is an important component of the program. Service may include tutoring, helping children in the sponsorship program write letters to their sponsors in the U.S., translating letters or work related to their fields of study. A number of former scholars work for Unbound as staff members after they graduate. They bring to their work a wealth of knowledge and a unique perspective on the program and their communities. Monitoring program success Scholars are required to maintain good grades in addition to fulfilling service requirements. Local Unbound staffs monitor students to make sure they are meeting program requirements, and they provide annual reports on their local service-scholarship programs. Unbound also initiated qualitative evaluation with alumni of the scholarship program, utilizing a group mind-mapping process and individual interviews to explore long-term outcomes. Examples of program success Unbound conducted Ripple-Effect Mapping (REM) with more than 80 program alumni in the Metro Manila area of the Philippines and with 32 program alumni from rural communities in Guatemala. REM is a participatory and qualitative evaluation method used to learn the intended and unintended results of the program. While the contexts of groups are dramatically different, with different geographies and significant cultural differences, the similarities between the outcomes strengthens the argument for what might be Unbound's contribution. Alumni participating in the qualitative evaluation in the Philippines, on average three years out of the program, are pursuing careers from teaching to nursing and accounting to architectural design. Alumni participating in the evaluation in Guatemala, on average six years out of the program, mentioned such current employment as teachers, police officers, bakers and small-business owners. Most of the evaluation participants are employed on a full-time basis. Among the key findings were: 1. Gratitude and giving back: The feeling of gratitude and the action of giving back are both connected and common across the ripple maps in Guatemala and the Philippines. Participants expressed how individuals and communities in poverty can focus internally on what little they have, but through Unbound they began to see the strengths and assets they did have. This gratitude for what they had and for what was shared through Unbound spurred a desire to help others, whether family, friends or strangers. 2. Pride: A deep sense of pride and personal accomplishment came forward in the maps of both countries. It is a pride that comes from educational accomplishments and the ability to sustain ones family. However, it also comes from being part of, or associated with, the Unbound program itself (Philippines) or having a sponsor (Guatemala). 3. Education: Education and academic achievement show up in all ripple-effect maps created in Guatemala and the Philippines; however, their positioning and value differ between both countries. Guatemalans viewed education as a key outcome and means to their most significant outcomes. Attaining an education meant gaining access to professional employment and caring for their families. It brought about satisfaction and pride. In the Philippines, however, alumni emphasized education as an end in itself. Having an education was the outcome. The most significant, long-term outcomes of the Unbound program are overwhelmingly real and intangible. Housing and health, education and work are all present in the lives of Unbound alumni today, yet the core of the impact remaining for formerly sponsored members lies in the moral, character-centered, reflective and goal-oriented worldview that they carry with them. This intangible core appears to offer a foundation for the alumni to continue to build their own tangible ripples in providing for their families and assisting community members. One benefit of the ripple-effect-mapping method, over separate evaluations of each outcome domain, is that we can see far more clearly that there are links between the physical and psycho-social-spiritual development. This makes an excellent case for the personalized attention, program activities and relationships that complement tangible sponsorship benefits. These components can also be called benefits. "The beauty is that each family can choose what is needed in each moment," said one participant in Guatemala. Each individual tells a vastly different story, but all are united in their experience with Unbound. So, while these experiences do force us to recognize the significant influences of external factors in the lives of individuals, they also emphasize the remarkable flexibility of the Unbound program. It has the potential to contribute to an individual's path out of poverty in ways unlike a standard aid-distribution or community-based development approach. |

Prior to this discussion, the President/CEO and the non-voting members of the board excused themselves from the board meeting. The voting members met with the Director of Human Resources who provided them with the following information which they used to determine the compensation amount: Utilizing the services of an independent compensation consultant group, Unbound built a formal compensation system for the entire organization. That data along with other external factors such as comparison of compensation of executives from similar sponsorship organizations helped the Board determine the President/CEOs June 2015-June 2016 compensation. The voting members then approved the annual salary for the President/CEO. Substantiation of the decision of the Boards determination was maintained by the Director of Human Resources. The compensation of the other Officers (Treasurer and Secretary) was approved by their respective supervisor at Unbound. It was based on both a written job performance evaluation and a formal compensation system built for the entire organization utilizing the services of an independent compensation consultant group. |
