Brother's Brother Foundation Reviews | Rating 3,7 out of 5 stars (5 reviews)

Brother's Brother Foundation is located in Pittsburgh, United States on 1200 Galveston Ave. Brother's Brother Foundation is rated 3.7 out of 5 in the category non-profit organization in United States. Brother’s Brother Foundation is an international charity serving 149 countries, providing over 4 Billion dollars worth of medical supplies, pharmaceuticals, educational materials, and other humanitarian equipment to people around the world. All BBF programs are designed to fulfill the Foundation’s mission of building futures around the world. Brother’s Brother Foundation began in 1958 as a dream of a few to help the many around the world who lack good healthcare, education and nutrition. From the beginning its founder and leading spirit, Robert A. Hingson, M.D., urged that BBF’s resources be shared with local counterpart organizations in developing countries that shared the common desire to help those in need. In the following years, BBF has helped people in 149 countries, working through and in partnership with local agencies that want to help their own people. Together with partners in the United States and other more affluent countries, BBF has provided over $4,000,000,000 in goods and services, that includes 105,000 tons of medical supplies, text books, seeds and food that have touched many tens of millions with better health, education, nutrition, material security and hope. It has been an odyssey of love shared by many thousands of supporters (individual, corporate, institutional, etc.) in the teachers, builders, truckers, warehouse labor (paid and volunteer) who have carefully assigned the donations BBF has to those who could use them. A gift to Brother’s Brother is never singular. It is always multiplied by gifts from individuals, corporations, government grants, faith groups, rotary clubs, ethnic associations, and campaigns such as the Combined Federal Campaign, local United Ways and others. Donations are managed well by BBF staff and trustees, all of whom work hard to keep our administration and operating cost below 1% of the value of program services.

As a donor and contributor to Brother’s Brother Foundation for more than 25 years, I am proud to provide a 5-star rating here. BBF has a proud history over 60 years, and is one of the top pharmaceutical and medical goods non-sectarian charitable institutions in the world, helping people in 149 countries with billions worth of donated items over the years. Their financials are sound and the expense ratios are historically exceptional. I hope all reading this will support and contribute to this very special organization.

Excellent charity to donate or volunteer for! All effort and 99% of donations go straight to helping people. They keep their expense rate as low as possible unlike Red Cross and their massive salary’s and charging first responders for water in crisis.

If you don’t give this foundation 5 stars you haven’t done your homework. Read the book “Operation Brothers Brother” and judge for yourself. Among other things, Dr. Hingson invented a device called the peace gun that innoculated 1,000 people per hour and saved thousands of people’s lives. He eradicated smallpox in Liberia. No one in this charity gets rich-99% goes to those in need. I don’t know any other charity that is more streamlined for maximum impact.
