Children of Bulgaria is a non-profit, tax-exempt public charity under section 501(c)(3) of the IRS, operated to address the needs of children in Bulgaria.By tapping into the strong charitable spirit of Bulgarians, Bulgarian expats and friends around the world, the organization has helped hundreds of children in various schools and institutions in Bulgaria. Rather than sending cash to the institutions in Bulgaria, with the funds donated to us we purchase needed equipment and supplies. We then post detailed financial statements on our web site for each project for full transparency. Our team is comprised exclusively of volunteers and we have zero administrative costs. Our mission is to help public health, educational, and other institutions to create a better world for children in Bulgaria. To promote this mission, we plan to:+ Raise funds in order to purchase instruments, equipment and other necessities needed at public institutions which serve children in Bulgaria.+ Actively educate the general public and potential donors about the specific challenges faced by children in Bulgaria - the poorest country of the European Union.+ Cultivate relationships with existing and potential donors that lead to funding.+ Create individual projects to aid specific areas of need within public institutions and organizations which serve children in Bulgaria.+ Ensure that each individual project is approved by our board members and/or our projects committee to secure the best utilization of the available funds.+ Send physical goods and equipment as opposed to money to eliminate the possibility of fraud or misappropriation. Always select the best price.
