Form 1023PartIV -Narrative DescriptionofActivities

Building International Bridges, Inc. (the Corporation )

was

formed

to further

cross-

cultural communication, within the United States and internationally. The obstacles to

intercultural

communications are lack of equipment, lack of education about other cultures and

lack of information. The Corporation seeks to remove those obstacles by providing equipment,

training and informationto the

various organizations

to

which

it

provides

funds.

Oneof the Corporation's goals is to bring the Internet to homes that have no computers

or

internet connection.

By

doing

so, the

Corporation aims

to

connect people

indifferent

cultures

(either internationally or within a country), thereby overcoming barriers of language,

cost,

distance and technology. In so doing, the Corporation will provide the technology and expertise

to fill the

gaps that other organizations

do not offer.

These activities support

the

Corporation's

goal to further international linksand building international bridges for learning, research, and

culturalrespect and exchange.

As stated elsewhere within this application, the Corporation

wi l l

be making donations

only

to

international

not for profit

companies

or

U.S. 501(c)(3) organizations that support

furthering cross-cultural communications. These areas presently include (1) greater Fort

Lauderdale, Florida and (2) West Sussex, England. Over time, additional international and U.S.

areas will

be

added.

Funds

generally will not be earmarked except for general operating purposes, unless a

special fundraising

or

matching program

is

involved.

At

this time, no

specific

dates have been determined, although contributions will be made

ona quarterly basis (at the end of each quarter).

The bulk of Corporation's time will be spent determining, making, and following up on

bequests. Periodic site reviews will also occur. Outside of bookkeeping, these items will

consume

all of theCorporation'stime.

The Corporation will be

funded

mostly from mailing an d telephone appeals fo r

donations. Additionally,

a

small amount

of funds

could

be

derived

by offering

workshops that

educate organizations about removing the obstacles to intercultural communications. In

particular,these workshops will provide training to overcome

difficulties

that arise in diverse

communities

and thereby promote intercultural communication.

Each

organization receiving donations

from

the Corporation must be open to periodic site

visits

to

ensure that

funds are

used

effectively and in

conjunction with their charters.

The

Corporation will make donations based upon requests

for funding

proposals

and

international

reputation.
