IBU Foundation

What IBU Foundation does

IBU Foundation, officially Yayasan Indonesia Bhadra Utama, is an Indonesian non-profit humanitarian and community development organization founded in 2004 by a group of volunteer doctors, psychologists, and other professionals in response to the Aceh-Nias tsunami and earthquake. Headquartered in Bandung, West Java, the organization operates across more than 42 cities and regencies in at least 13 Indonesian provinces, delivering programs focused on mothers, children, and youth in disaster-affected and vulnerable communities.

The organization's program portfolio spans six core areas: Emergency Response (Tanggap Darurat) featuring the proprietary Rumah Kencana child psychosocial support framework; Rehabilitation and Reconstruction; Disaster Risk Reduction; Youth and Inclusion (including disability-inclusive job readiness); Early Childhood Education; and Climate Change Adaptation. Delivery is community-led through field teams, volunteer networks, and partnerships with local governments, academic institutions, and international humanitarian organizations including Save the Children, Plan International, UNESCO, International Medical Corps, and Care International.

IBU Foundation operates as a grant- and donation-funded yayasan with no commercial product revenue. Funding streams include public donations (individual and corporate), international institutional grants for specific multi-year programs (Skills to Succeed 2021-2025, Empowered Youth 2023-2025, Out of School Children and Youth 2020-2022), and government partnerships at the municipal level. The organization maintains 11-50 professional staff supported by a broader volunteer base, and is led by CEO Muhammad Fandy Sarjono and Executive Director Pramaningtyas Sarce Margareth.
