Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11

“The director of finance works with the public accounting firm to prepare the form 990 and reviews the filing in detail before it is provided to the ceo for review. The form 990 is reviewed and approved by the ceo prior to submission. The form 990 is also provided to the board prior to submission.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“All employees including the ceo sign a conflict of interest document. Conflicts of interest are disclosed and those with the "conflict" are not involved in decision making relevant to the conflict in question. Should a conflict arise it would be noted in the minutes and/or brought to the board's attention if deemed significant.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

“The board of directors determines and approves the compensation of the ceo. The board reviews regional, national and industry salary comparability data including the annual mountain states employers council compensation survey and the annual guidestar salary survey when determining the salary of the ceo. The approval of the ceo's compesnation is documented in the board minutes. The process was last undertaken in 2012. The ceo reviews and approves the salary of top management officials. The board preapproves any newhires and their salary range by virtue of approving the budgets. If a top management official is hired outside of the previously approved budgets, the board is informed of the details and asked for approval. The process was last undertaken in 2014.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The organization posts its governing documents and financial statements on its own website. The organization's policies are made available upon request.”

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0PHILIPPINES: BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE GOVERNMENT2014 WAS DEDICATED TO BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS IN THE PHILIPPINES, WITH THE DUAL OBJECTIVE OF SUPPORTING THE RESPONSE TO THE 2013 TYPHOON HAIYAN AND THE BOHOL EARTHQUAKE, AND SUPPORTING THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT, PRIVATE SECTOR, AND CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS TO STRENGTHEN THE COUNTRY'S RESILIENCE TO NATURAL DISASTERS. (CONTINUED ON PAGE 44)(PHILIPINES PROGRAM DESCRIPTION CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2)IN ANTICIPATION OF SCALING IMPACTS IN 2015 AND BEYOND, BUILD CHANGE DEVELOPED AND TESTED LOCALLY APPROPRIATE TECHNICAL RESOURCES FOR REBUILDING AND RETROFITTING SAFE HOUSES. RECONSTRUCTION AFTER TYPHOON HAIYAN:BUILD CHANGE FIRST PILOTED ITS TECHNICAL RESOURCES IN SULANGAN, EASTERN SAMAR WITH PARTNER CORDAID. BUILD CHANGE TESTED OUT THREE MASONRY HOUSING TYPES - CONFINED MASONRY, REINFORCED SHEAR WALL AND MOMENT FRAME - TRAINING HOMEOWNERS AND BUILDERS TO MANAGE THE CONSTRUCTION THEMSELVES. BY THE END OF THE YEAR, MORE THAN 20 PEOPLE WERE TRAINED AND TWO OF THE THREE PILOT HOUSES WERE COMPLETED. BUILD CHANGE ALSO PILOTED A TIMBER RETROFIT PROGRAM, TRAINING NINE CARPENTERS AS RETROFIT TECHNICIANS AND TESTING THE RETROFIT TECHNIQUES ON FOUR HOUSES. BETTER BUILDING MATERIALS ARE AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF SAFER HOUSES. TEN PEOPLE AT THREE LOCAL-AREA BLOCK MANUFACTURERS WERE TRAINED TO PRODUCE STRONGER CONCRETE BLOCKS.BUILD CHANGE AGREED TO SCALE THE PROJECT WITH CORDAID, SO MORE PERMANENT HOUSES WILL BE BUILT IN 2015.SPREADING KNOWLEDGE:IN EARLY 2014, THE BOHOL SHELTER CLUSTER DISTRIBUTED OVER 6,000 POSTERS EXPLAINING BASIC PRINCIPLES OF SAFE CONSTRUCTION TO PEOPLE WHOSE HOUSES WERE AFFECTED BY THE 2013 EARTHQUAKE. IN ADDITION, AT THE REQUEST OF THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL WELFARE AND DEVELOPMENT, BUILD CHANGE BUILT UPON THESE POSTERS, THE FINDINGS FROM ITS "LEARNING FIRST" ACTIVITIES, AS WELL AS THE STANDARDS SET OUT IN THE NATIONAL STRUCTURAL CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES, AND DEVELOPED A 75-PAGE SET OF COMPREHENSIVE, ILLUSTRATED DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION GUIDELINES FOR RESIDENTIAL HOUSES. THE GUIDELINES ARE BEING USED BY GOVERNMENT PARTNERS AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IMPLEMENTING HOUSING CONSTRUCTION PROGRAMS.PARTNERING WITH THE GOVERNMENT:THE PHILIPPINES SEES FOUR TO SIX TYPHOONS MAKE LANDFALL EVERY YEAR AND EXPERIENCES STRONG EARTHQUAKES REGULARLY. AS SUCH, BUILD CHANGE IS PARTNERING WITH SEVERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES TO ASSIST THEIR DISASTER RESPONSE ACTIVITIES AND STRENGTHEN THEIR DISASTER RISK REDUCTION EFFORTS.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc0LATIN AMERICA: COLOMBIA & GUATEMALA - PREVENTING A DISASTERCOLOMBIAUNSAFE BUILDINGS:OVER 10 MILLION COLOMBIANS LIVE IN HOUSES THAT ARE WEAK AND LIKELY TO COLLAPSE IN EARTHQUAKES OR MAJOR STORMS. THESE HOMES ARE BUILT BY LOW-INCOME FAMILIES IN TIGHTLY-PACKED URBAN NEIGHBORHOODS, WITHOUT ENGINEERING DESIGN OR CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISION BY MUNICIPAL AUTHORITIES. WHEN A MODERATE EARTHQUAKE STRUCK HAITI IN 2010, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF UNSAFE HOUSES IN SIMILAR INFORMAL URBAN NEIGHBORHOODS COLLAPSED, KILLING 230,000 PEOPLE.REDUCING RISK SAVES LIVES:TO PREVENT SUCH A CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF LIFE FROM A NATURAL DISASTER IN COLOMBIA, BUILD CHANGE IS PARTNERING WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL GOVERNMENT TO PROTECT FAMILIES BY PROVIDING TRAINING IN DESIGNING AND IMPLEMENTING RETROFITS OF UNSAFE HOUSES.PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP:A PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP IS ESSENTIAL FOR RETROFITTING TO OCCUR ON A LARGE SCALE. THE BOGOTA CITY GOVERNMENT HAS SUBSIDIES AVAILABLE TO LOW-INCOME HOMEOWNERS FOR STRUCTURAL RETROFITS. THESE SUBSIDIES CAN BE ACCESSED BY FAMILIES TO COVER THE COSTS OF MATERIALS AND LABOR FOR RETROFITTING. SUBSIDIES CAN BE USED TO PROVIDE AN INCENTIVE FOR FAMILIES TO FOLLOW SAFE BUILDING STANDARDS. THE PRIVATE SECTOR MUST PROVIDE THE ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION SKILLS NECESSARY TO IMPLEMENT THE PROGRAMS. BUILD CHANGE PROVIDES THE TRAINING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE NEEDED TO BUILD THE CAPACITY OF ALL PARTIES AND ENCOURAGE COMPLIANCE WITH BUILDING STANDARDS. RETROFITTING PROCEDURE:IN 2014, BUILD CHANGE DEVELOPED A STRAIGHTFORWARD RETROFIT EVALUATION AND IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SERVICIO NACIONAL DE APRENDIZAJE (SENA), SWISSCONTACT, AND THE SEISMIC ENGINEERING COMMUNITY IN BOGOTA. BUILD CHANGE DEVELOPED TRAINING CURRICULA FOR BUILDERS AND ENGINEERS, COVERING HOW TO EVALUATE ONE- TO THREE-STORY MASONRY HOUSES AND HOW TO DESIGN AND CARRY OUT A RETROFIT WHEN NECESSARY.BUILD CHANGE TRAINED 8 SENA INSTRUCTORS, STAFF FROM CAJA DE VIVIENDA POPULAR, AND OTHER BUILDERS AND ENGINEERS USING THESE RESOURCES. ONE HOUSE IN BOGOTA WAS RETROFITTED THROUGH THE TRAINING PROGRAM AS PROOF OF CONCEPT, MAKING IT EARTHQUAKE-RESISTANT WITHIN THE SUBSIDY OF $5,000.LOOKING FORWARD:IN 2015, BUILD CHANGE WILL WORK WITH LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS AND HOMEOWNERS TO RETROFIT 50 HOUSES IN BOGOTA THROUGH THE GOVERNMENT SUBSIDY PROGRAM, AS A NEXT STEP TOWARD WORKING WITH THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES TO RETROFIT THEIR HOMES.GUATEMALA:REDUCING RISK SAVES LIVES:BUILD CHANGE BEGAN WORKING IN GUATEMALA IN 2014, WITH THE GOAL OF SAVING LIVES BY MAKING BUILDINGS SAFE BEFORE A NATURAL DISASTER STRIKES.UNSAFE SCHOOL BUILDINGS: MILLIONS OF GUATEMALAN CHILDREN GO TO CLASS IN SCHOOL BUILDINGS THAT ARE LIKELY TO COLLAPSE IN EARTHQUAKES OR MAJOR STORMS. WHEN A SCHOOL DOES COLLAPSE, LOCAL EDUCATION IS THROWN INTO CHAOS. SOMETIMES CLASSES ARE HELD IN AD-HOC COMMUNITY CENTERS, TENTS, OR EVEN IN DAMAGED AND UNSAFE BUILDINGS. STUDENTS OFTEN LACK ACCESS TO CONSISTENT EDUCATION UNTIL THE BUILDING IS REBUILT.BY ENSURING THAT SCHOOL BUILDINGS WITHSTAND NATURAL DISASTERS, CHILDREN WILL SURVIVE AND THEIR EDUCATION WILL REMAIN UNINTERRUPTED.PROTECTING STUDENTS:MORE THAN 200 SCHOOLS WERE DAMAGED IN THE EARTHQUAKE THAT STRUCK GUATEMALA IN 2012 AND NEED TO BE RETROFITTED TO MAKE THEM SAFE TO USE. HUNDREDS OF OTHER SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY ARE WEAK AND MAY COLLAPSE IN FUTURE EARTHQUAKES. THESE SCHOOLS ALSO NEED TO BE RETROFIT TO PROTECT STUDENTS.THE GUATEMALAN GOVERNMENT IS AWARE OF THE NEED TO RETROFIT SCHOOLS. BUILD CHANGE WILL LAUNCH A SCHOOL RETROFITTING PARTNERSHIP IN GUATEMALA IN 2015.PROMOTING RETROFITTING:IN 2014, BUILD CHANGE PARTNERED WITH PCI'S BARRIO MIO GUATEMALA, A NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM TO REDUCE THE VULNERABILITY OF MIXCO TO LANDSLIDES, EROSION, FLOODING, EARTHQUAKES, AND HURRICANES.BUILD CHANGE IMPLEMENTED A SUBSIDY-BASED HOUSING RETROFITTING PROGRAM TO RETROFIT 3 HOMES IN MIXCO AS A DEMONSTRATION OF THE PROCESS AND A LOCAL TRAINING OPPORTUNITY.
