Congo Freedom Alliance (CFA) is officially established as an operating, 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization, approved by the United States Internal Revenue Service. The Congo Freedom Alliance (CFA) seems to be a distinct entity, possibly focused on promoting investment, innovation and reform politic stability in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
CFA was founded by the Founder, Executive Chairman/Founder Mr. Elie Mundendi in 2009 Arlington, Texas.
As such, we have greater abilities to advocate for legislation to solve human rights problems.
What also is different and unique about CFA is that we focus on fundamentals of good governance, and all issues that relate to them because these fundamentals are the foundation of any country, and without them, a country cannot have human rights and all else essential to civil society.
This is our specialty.
Our Story
_
As a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, CFA has advantages that a 501 C3 Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International
nonprofits do not have. For example, CFA, as a 501(c)(4), has greater authorization as a tax exempt nonprofit to be involved in the political process to advocate for critical USA legislation/foreign policy changes with world organizations to advance human rights, democracy, freedoms, liberties, rule of law and good governance
critical to the future wellbeing of the poverty stricken DRC.
This political support is critical to solutions in Congo.
CFA was founded jointly by University of Texas Congolese civilian war victim refugee government students and
their political science department faculty sponsor. CFA is a non-government “humanitarian social welfare nonprofit organization” concerned about the wellbeing of 81 million Congolese in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
It expanded into an international think tank, where diverse men and women volunteers in various countries
with expertise study DRC problems and recommend solutions.
Our mission focuses on human rights and good governance.
Our Love For The Democratic
Republic Of Congo
Thus, with this freedom, according to federal law, donation gifts to CFA
are not tax deductible as “charitable contributions.” To some donors this status makes no difference because they do not itemize
deductions anyway.
Also, businesses who make donations to a 501(c)(4) may be able to
take a deduction as a business expense.
At CFA we fact-find, investigate abuses and crimes, interview witnesses, write reports, conduct interviews with
the media to expose truth to educate the world to promote peace and good governance in the DRC.
We pressure those with power to respect human rights. We defend human rights, justice and rule of law
in the DRC. We advocate for and defend the rights of Congolese refugees worldwide,
as well as Congolese still under oppressive dictatorial rule inside the DRC.
