 FDR Organization:

 Purpose:

• Build a national network of Peace Corps alumni and friends to continue their commitment to international service and understanding through the exchange of information, materials, technology and people;
• Support the Peace Corps mission in the Dominican Republic; and
• Share their knowledge of the Dominican Republic and the Peace Corps with other Americans.

 Misssion:

The Friends of the Dominican Republic is a nonprofit organization composed primarily of Peace Corps Volunteers and Staff who served in the Dominican Republic, but open to others who are interested in the Dominican Republic and share the goals of the American Peace Corps.

The purpose of the organization is to help its members continue their commitment to international service and understanding through the exchange of information, materials, and technology; support the Peace Corps mission in the Dominican Republic; and share their knowledge of the Dominican Republic and the Peace Corps with other Americans.

Recognizing the individual differences of each member's talents, time, and resources, the organization serves as a national network to encourage and support a variety of programs and activities that match a member's interest and abilities to the needs of the Dominican Republic and Peace Corps.

FDR is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation recognized by the IRS.  All contributions are tax deductable.  Please remember FDR at tax time and when making your estate plans.

As a non-profit corporation FDR is required to have bylaws stating how we shall operate.  The bylaws are in committee to consider updates on how we actually operate in the modern electronic age.  The committee has been working on this since January 2005 and hopefully is about ready to present them to the board for a vote.   Click here to view our current Bylaws
