MIMA FOUNDATION, INC.
JUPITER, FLORIDA

Founded in 1996, MIMA Foundation is the brainchild of dedicated South Florida physicians and nursing professionals. Recognized by the IRS as a tax-exempt charity right from its inception, MIMA uniquely operates without paid staff, relying solely on private donations to fund its mission. The organization is deeply committed to providing medical assistance to underserved populations across the globe. Through collaborative partnerships with hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and local businesses in the U.S., MIMA gathers essential supplies which are then transported by volunteer teams to those most in need, worldwide. Based at 5869 Stonewood Ct., Jupiter, FL, under the registration status of DOMNP since its incorporation on April 12, 1995 (Filenum: N95000001818), the foundation has actively contributed to healthcare advancements. Notable among their projects is their work in Uganda where they've successfully established new schools and secured clean water for the Kayenje village. With aspirations of expanding its impact further, MIMA plans to extend its services into Guatemala through a partnership with 'Partner For Surgery.' This collaboration aims to broaden their healthcare reach. Projects such as containerized donations facilitated by import business leader Anna Benitez enable year-round shipping of necessary supplies to areas like Bolivia’s Tutimayu, addressing critical medical requirements and supporting community development. MIMA Foundation is guided by key officers Mary Kay Thomas (President), Dr. Francis Podbielski (Vice President), and Mary Janeen Hernan (Secretary and Treasurer). Their unyielding dedication drives the mission of fostering long-lasting healthcare solutions globally.
