Statement of Purpose

Braman Foundation Of Charities, B.F.C., was formed in 1997 as a foundation to help support and uplift humanity. It is a 501(c) (3) a non-profit organization. We believe only in truly helping our fellow man. As Christ stated in Matthew 22:39, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." B.F.C. only wishes to encourage this love and hopes that God will continue to express his love through B.F.C.

Our mission is carried through the direction of God's grace. We have tried to abandon our ego-self and allow God to work through us. In the Gospel of St. Matthew 25:36, "I was in prison and You came to me," really has called us to this ministry. Millions of persons today continue to suffer addictive behavior, depressed moods and behavioral problems which lead to destructive lifestyles. Our sole purpose is to provide an avenue in which God can use us through these principles to raise others from their myriad of difficulty.

Let us always remember that we are children of one God regardless of gender, race or creed, and that God does and will express in and through us all. Christ is our example. May we come to understand His divine love.

Always in divine friendship, Braman Foundation Of Charities
