Teachers Without Borders | Annual Report 2
If you had the ability to thank one or more of your teachers
for sparking in you a sense of curiosity, encouraging you to
reach higher, planting and watering in you the seeds of
hope, how would you go about it? What would you do or
say or build to honor the teachers? What if you were able to
support teachers you don’t even know – anywhere –
whether they are crowded into a converted warehouse in
the South Bronx or sitting cross-legged under a tree in Swa-
ziland? What if you could do something tangible to support
those who feel that powerful and inexorable tug to do great
things for children and the teaching profession and the
future? photo by Rocco Stecher

OUR VISION:
At over 59 million, teachers are the largest single group of trained professionals in the world and
the key to human welfare. They know who is sick, who is missing, and who is orphaned by

Though not tech-centric, TWB is tech-savvy. Our real value
is the blend of high-tech, high-touch, and high-teach
approaches. High-tech enables members to connect,
collaborate, and create curricula that enhance members’
roles as educators and accelerates the indisputable power
of high-touch (face-to-face human interaction and
community-building) and high-teach (content that meets
practical needs and respects the dignity of culture and edu-

NEW
SYSTEMS Strategic Planning
Teachers Without Borders has experienced dramatic growth in 2008. Such a process has necessitated an entirely new
way of conducting our business. We have integrated Salesforce’s Customer Relations Management into our toolset for
tracking our members, and have invested time and money into additional applications designed to track our projects, our
technology, our partnerships, and our impacts.
Increased capacity and visibility, along with an expectation of even greater impacts has required the development of a
new Strategic Plan which will require Board approval by Q2, 2009 and bring us to March 23, 2010 – Teachers Without
Borders’ 10th Anniversary. The Strategic Plan outlines a set of targets and processes for programs; an exponential
increase in membership; Board development; consistent organizational procedures and communications systems; and
a concrete plan for diverse revenue streams that reduce dramatically our dependence upon grants.

The following charts show the categories of funding received and how those funds were spent. Although
Teachers Without Borders makes every effort to spend 87.5% of all funds received on program
expenses, 2008 proved to be a year in which a great deal of resources were used developing our website
and social network to lay the groundwork to support all of our programs moving forward. Therefore, an
increased amount of funding was allocated to that area in 2008 as shown on the chart below.
