The common thread of unrest in the world is the despair felt when people have abandoned hope of comfort or success. Improving our collective lot in life involves a host of positive factors including a good job, a stable community, opportunity for personal and business growth as well as a supportive and loving family. The proven American Free Enterprise Economic System is the operating model which can improve the lives of people throughout the world.
Our Mission advocates self reliance via free markets with a view toward improving opportunities for comfort and success. Our activities are directed toward the overall well-being of individuals including their personal health. We focus on the danger of tobacco products as a major critical issue of our times.
Our Mission is supported by the financial and asset contributions of the Founder. Sales from this website, eBay and ETSY and income from a donated apartment building helps us earn our keep. We have twelve (12) years as an eBay Seller with 100% feedback rating. We have sold a variety of items all over the world and now establishing a great new reputation on ETSY. We do this to earn our keep as opposed to relentlessly begging for money.
We accept donationed items that we can resell. Preferred items we can best handle now are quality artworks, books and smaller pieces such as collectibles, jewelry, watches etc. To date, we have received artwork, cars and an apartment building. We can provide you with a receipt for FAIR MARKET VALUE, however it is not tax deductible. Our accountant has prepared our 501(C)3 paperwork but it has not been submitted for IRS approval as yet.
Contributions are accepted. Checks can be made payable to SPIRIT OF FREEDOM FOUNDATION and sent to 21900 Addington Blvd. Suite 104 Cleveland OH 44116-3952. Direct online contributions can be made via PayPal. We are also big on earning our keep, so we buy and sell donated items from our online store. We call it The Ubiquitous Purveyor because we sell all kinds of stuff and ship it world wide. Take a look!
