MIMA FOUNDATION, INC.
JUPITER, FLORIDA

MIMA Foundation, Inc., established in 1996 by a group of committed South Florida physicians and nurses, has expanded to include members nationwide. Recognized as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization by the IRS since its founding year, it operates without paid employees—relying entirely on private charitable, tax-deductible donations for funding. Dedicated to providing medical care to underserved populations globally, MIMA collaboratively works with hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and local businesses in the United States to gather essential supplies. Transported by volunteer teams, these resources are delivered to host countries where needed most. Currently residing at 5869 Stonewood Ct., Jupiter, FL, MIMA Foundation is registered under the status of DOMNP. Since its incorporation on April 12, 1995 (Filenum: N95000001818), it has actively contributed to healthcare in various regions. Notably, projects in Uganda have seen significant achievements, including building new schools and ensuring clean water access for the village of Kayenje. Looking forward, MIMA aims to expand its services to Guatemala in partnership with 'Partner For Surgery,' enhancing its reach and impact. Through initiatives like containerized donations facilitated by Anna Benitez’s import business, the Foundation effectively transports necessary supplies year-round to locations such as Bolivia's Tutimayu, supporting critical medical needs and community development projects. MIMA Foundation is steered by officers including Mary Kay Thomas (President), Dr. Francis Podbielski (Vice President), and Mary Janeen Hernan (Secretary and Treasurer). Their ongoing mission underscores a continuous commitment to fostering sustainable health care solutions worldwide.
