GBI Foundation / FAQ
Common questions
A few things you might want to know before you give, volunteer, or get in touch. Choose a question to read the answer.
Is GBI Foundation a registered 501(c)(3)?
Yes. The legal name is Global Build International Foundation Inc. The EIN is 47-4016484. The IRS record lists 2015 as the year formed. Confirm the current status on the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search before you rely on it.
Where is the office?
2200 Wilson Blvd, Suite 102-42, Arlington, VA 22201, United States. Email info@gbifoundation.org. We do not publish a phone number on this website.
Are donations tax-deductible?
Contributions are deductible to the extent United States law allows. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, you receive no goods or services in return. We acknowledge gifts we actually receive. Your own tax result depends on your situation.
Can I pay by card on this site?
Not yet. Give by check to the legal name at the Arlington address, or email us to arrange a wire or a donor-advised fund gift. We will add a card form on this same website when the form works. We will not send you to another domain to finish a gift from an advertisement.
How do I get a receipt?
Include an email address with your check, or email info@gbifoundation.org after a transfer, and ask for the acknowledgment. We send one for gifts we receive.
What programs do you run?
Six areas: workforce development, crisis resilience, digital literacy, global health education, responsible technology, and community development. Each has its own page under Programs. Those pages describe the work. They do not state results we cannot document.
Do you provide medical care?
No. Health work on this site is education and support for community partners. It is not a clinic, a diagnosis, or an emergency service.
How do I volunteer?
Use the volunteer page. An offer is not an assignment. We will never ask you to pay a fee or send a passport copy in order to volunteer.
Do you sell my information?
No. The privacy policy explains what email you send us and what analytics we may add later. There is no advertising network on this site.
Where are your annual results?
On the impact page, including what we refuse to estimate. Recent public filings have been Form 990-N. A full expense table will be linked here if a later year requires a full Form 990.
Still need the office? Use the contact page, the donate page, or the program list.
