Mission

BWE has been continuing to provide quality education to disadvantaged groups around the world and increase awareness of struggles for vulnerable groups. The organization has been using social media platforms to engage disadvantaged people, including Cambodian refugees. BWE is sharing useful guides to vulnerable individuals and providing limited grants to provide necessaries to those underprivileged groups. BWE's dedication to fostering education and awareness extends beyond borders, reaching out to marginalized communities globally. Through strategic utilization of social media platforms, the organization actively engages with Cambodian refugees and other disadvantaged populations, offering valuable resources and guidance. Moreover, BWE's commitment to making a tangible difference is exemplified through the provision of limited grants, ensuring that essential needs are met for those facing social economic challenges.

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 Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.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.
