contribution to the social and economic development of Pakistan.

ABOUT APF:
The American Pakistan Foundation is dedicated to the mission of
improving the social and economic condition of the people of Pakistan by
mobilizing a wide base of public and private support from the
Pakistani-American community and friends of Pakistan in the US. The APF
will focus on areas including education, social entrepreneurship, poverty-alleviation,
healthcare, and arts & culture and will work in conjunction with existing
programs to complement and grow these efforts. The APF will serve as a
secure and trusted channel that seeks to expand the community's current
philanthropic efforts by complementing them with new sources of funding and by
coordinating efforts to transfer skills and knowledge needed by the people of
Pakistan. This mission will be met by ensuring that APF is a
professional not-for-profit organization in compliance with section 501(c)(3)
of the Internal Revenue Code and with practices based on non-partisan, secular
and non-political values. Website launching soon at: http://www.americanpakistan.org/
