Mission

Build-a-School Initiative was born out of a need. A need that drives us to dare. We believe that, All children, no matter where they live or what their circumstances, have the right to quality education, especially in Africa. We envision a world where no child is left behind in getting education in a safe and comfortable environment. To help create that world, Build-a-School Initiative is dedicated to creating, building or restoring school buildings all across Africa.

No independent contractors reported.

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
