Verbree International

Verbree International (VI) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) public charity organized and registered in the State of Michigan, U.S.A. VI also has a Certificate of Authority to conduct business in the State of New York.

VI's exempt purpose is to “receive and administer funds for the charitable purpose of aiding the impoverished by instilling hope, promoting sustainable livelihoods, and teaching the ability to cope with changing conditions principally through grassroots development in developing countries”.

VI's secondary purpose, also stated in its Articles of Incorporation, is to “improve awareness of the situations of the impoverished around the world and to create relationships between those of differing socio-economic and cultural backgrounds to mutually benefit each other.”

These purposes constitute VI's "exempt purpose" which the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and state authorities use to determine whether an organization can be granted tax exempt status. VI fulfills its exempt purpose through its operation and projects as set forth in their Organizational Plan and specific project proposals.

David and Cheryl Verbree founded VI in June 2004 in response to God's direct call to carry out a Christian life of love and service. During their previous development work in Afghanistan and Zambia, the Verbrees saw first hand the particular needs of the impoverished. They believe that Jesus calls all people to have a heart for the downtrodden and those lacking hope, to work along side them, and to serve them in His Name.
