Dear Chief Maree,
Rome Foundation International is a non-profit organization that strives to develop
permanent medical networks that provide basic, compassionate, free, and affordable fee -based
healthcare in Haiti and other underdeveloped countries. In 2001, through a network of hospitals
and clinics in Haiti, Rome distributed over one million dollars in pharmaceuticals and medical
equipment. However, this amount only meets a fraction of the vast needs of the Haitian people.
We are trying to expand the network and distribution system to include more Haitian hospitals
and clinics that could serve the people, if only the resources were made available.
We cannot do everything, but we can do something. We respectfully request you to
donate to our 501 (c) (3) Organization all available surplus medical supplies and equipment. Our
Florida Department of Revenue certificate of exemption number is 39-00-216890-85C and our
U.S. Department of the Treasury recognition of exemption is dated February 4, 2000 with an
assigned EIN 59-3598006. We certify that the donated items are not for resale and are to be used
solely for the charitable medical work of Rome Foundation International. In addition, Rome
Foundation International indemnifies the City of Miami and its Fire Department against any and
all liabilities for the use of the equipment and supplies after donation.
