Bricks to Bread International is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization whose primary exempt purpose is to alleviate poverty and build global leaders. We help build brick ovens for Costa Rican families seeking a sustainable source of income. Bricks to Bread assists and mentors families in the construction and maintenance of their own oven and offers training and assistance in developing a solid business plan to sell fresh baked goods to their community. Brick ovens not only help provide a family with a sustainable income, but they also bring communities together. The ovens become a focal point in the community, become a gathering place for community events, and bring people together. Bricks to Bread accomplishes all of this through donations, partnerships, volunteer trip opportunities and baking bread together.

501(c)(3) charity; gifts are tax-deductible.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
