Financial Information

July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015

This year IFPB reached its highest level of contributed revenue ever and also secured our greatest amount of foundation support. We continued to keep delegation fees as low as possible, and provided financial aid in the form of scholarships for 20 delegates who could not otherwise travel. Our financial position remains sound, but the continued support of individual donors and private foundations is essential for both our delegations and advocacy work.

Interfaith Peace‐Builders is a registered 501c3 nonprofit organization. All contributions are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. Copies of financial statements are available upon request.

As you can see from the preceding revenue chart, over 50% of IFPB’s total revenue comes from payments for direct delegation services. A corresponding amount is paid by IFPB for all the airline flights, hotel rooms, and other essentials for delegations on the ground. To get a truer sense of IFPB’s operations, we can subtract out those expenses and fees for services to get an operational budget. This $285,000 is what runs IFPB, making our delegations, education, and advocacy programs possible.

FOCUS on SCHOLARSHIPS

In the past year, IFPB granted a total of $31,000 to 20 individuals to help defray delegation costs. Here is a quote from one scholarship application we received: I’ve never left the United States, and while this may seem like a reason for me not to visit this area of the world, I feel that my background would make the experience of participating in an IFPB delegation that much more valuable to my development as a person and (hopefully) as a future community leader. While the United States is a melting pot of cultures, nothing can compare to the wisdom gained by living with indigenous people of a society so far from my own. Scholarships allow IFPB to increase participation on our delegations and send committed leaders and future leaders who would not otherwise be able to travel.
