1) What is the mission of The Paul Brifo Foundation? 

The organization devotes substantially all of its activities to the alleviation of poverty, disease, and suffering by providing unwanted clothing items to indigent or similarly deserving children and their care givers at no charge.

2) How does The Paul Brifo Foundation accomplish this?

We collect unwanted clothing items from the people living in the United States, recondition the items, and present them to infants, young adults, and other people who are in need of clothes but cannot afford to acquire them.

3) How does The Paul Brifo Foundation select their recipients?

A number of orphanage homes and churches have been listed at random. They each receive the donated clothes, one at a time. Currently we supply orphanages and churches.  Eventually we will reach out to schools for the blind and disabled. Clothes are distributed through the established leadership of beneficiary organizations.

4) Why was Ghana chosen as a primary recipient?

I was born in Ghana and lived there for over 15 years. Members of my family currently reside there and this gives me special insight into the current needs of the people. The items sent to deserving individuals benefit them greatly because they are freely donated. The Foundation funds local representatives who drive considerable distances to deliver the items to the needy people.

Donated clothes to Ghana are a big financial relief to the beneficiaries because of the high cost of living, and its attending lower standard of living in this third world nation.

Our work in Ghana supports our mission to alleviate poverty, disease, and suffering in developing countries world wide.

5) Where is The Paul Brifo Foundation based? 

The headquarters and the majority of the operations are conducted in Texas.

6) How is The Paul Brifo Foundation funded?

The activity is funded from personal resources and donated funds from well wishers. Funds are required for shipping and overhead costs. We would greatly appreciate your donation.

7) Does The Paul Brifo Foundation qualify as a Charitable Organization under the United States tax code?

The Foundation is exempt from Federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions to the foundation are deductible under section 170 of the Code.
 

8) What are the future plans for The Paul Brifo Foundation?

While the foundation may start at a small scale taking care of small communities and children with clothing needs in orphanages and children’s homes in Ghana, Africa, the venture is expected to grow and cover the entire country, then over time the other African countries.

With more resources being available, the Foundation will eventually cover the entire developing countries world wide. Special emphasis will of course be placed on the orphanages, charity homes, and other related centers where needy people are housed.
