IN 2016, THE FOUNDATION SENT 78 VOLUNTEERS TO THREE DEVELOPING COUNTRIES AND ESTIMATED VALUE OF THEIR DONATED TIME NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RETURN IS $625,352.
THE PURPOSE OF THE OVERSEAS ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM IS TO (1) STRENGTHEN EXISTING ELECTRIC COOPERATIVES AND (2) HELP CREATE NEW ELECTRIC COOPERATIVES. PROJECTS THAT TYPICALLY MAKE UP THIS PROGRAM ARE THOSE THAT ACTUALLY BUILD ELECTRIC DISTRIBUTION LINES TO RURAL VILLAGES THAT DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE ELECTRICITY. THESE PROJECTS EITHER CREATE NEW INDEPENDENT COOPERATIVES OR EXPAND AND STRENGTHEN THE CAPACITY OF EXISTING OVERSEAS COOPERATIVES. EACH PROJECT FOCUSES ON THE LONG-TERM ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY OF THE COOPERATIVE AND THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. THE FOUNDATION IS CURRENTLY SUPPORTING ELECTRIFICATION PROJECTS IN: BOLIVIA COSTA RICA, GUATEMALA, HAITI, THE PHILIPPINES AND SUDAN.
