OUR ANNUAL PURPLE PARTY!
Comfort’s Birthday & A Celebration of Giving.
Put on something purple and join Comfort The Nation for our first-ever virtual Purple Party!
Every year on her birthday, our founder and president, Comfort Beene, celebrates by giving back to the people of Liberia. What began as a personal birthday tradition has become something much bigger—and this year, we’re inviting you to be part of it.

Read Comfort's Story
Why Dec 13?
Long before Comfort The Nation became an official nonprofit, Comfort was using her birthday as an opportunity to give.
Each year, instead of making December 13 only about celebrating herself, she gives food and everyday essentials to people in Liberia. That tradition became Give Essentials Day—and it represents the heart behind Comfort The Nation. Meeting needs today. Creating opportunities for tomorrow. And reminding people that they are seen, valued and supported.
This year, for the first time, we’re bringing that celebration to all of you with the Purple Party!
While Give Essentials Day takes place in December in honor of Comfort’s birthday, the Purple Party is a celebration of ALL of Comfort The Nation’s work.
In honor of 2026, we’re setting a $2,026 Purple Party fundraising goal to support both sides of our mission: PROVIDE + EDUCATE—providing essential resources to families and educational opportunities through scholarships in Liberia.
You don’t have to wait until December 13 to help us get there. Every gift moves us closer to our goal—and we’ll celebrate our progress together LIVE during the Purple Party!
This year, Comfort’s birthday wish is simple: let’s give together.
In honor of 2026, we’re setting a Purple Party fundraising goal of $2,026 to support Comfort The Nation’s work providing essential resources and educational opportunities in Liberia.
You don’t have to wait until December 13 to help us get there. Every gift moves us closer to our goal—and we’ll celebrate our progress together LIVE during the Purple Party!
LET’S RAISE $2,026!
ONE BIRTHDAY. ONE GOAL.

Building a Strong Foundation
From the beginning, we have been intentional about building Comfort the Nation on a solid legal and operational foundation. We partnered with experienced nonprofit professionals to ensure our organization was established responsibly and in full compliance with federal requirements.
Attorney Pat Gibert, a specialist in nonprofit law, guided the preparation and filing of our 501(c)(3) application and continues to advise us on best practices for governance, bylaws, and long-term legal structure.
We worked closely with Liz Kinsfather of Kinsfather Consulting, a nonprofit specialist who supported our early formation process and provided strategic guidance on nonprofit operations, sustainability, and mission-driven growth.
We believe trust is earned through openness. Comfort the Nation is committed to financial transparency, responsible stewardship, and clear communication with our community. Our board of directors works diligently behind the scenes to ensure that funds are used thoughtfully and aligned with our mission.
Your donations go directly toward:
- Scholarships and educational support (Approximately 40%)
- Essential supplies and food distribution (Approximately 40%)
- Low Operational costs (Approximately 20%)
Our organizational documents and financial practices are maintained with care, and we are committed to sharing updates and information as we grow.
Join Us in Making an Impact
Your support makes this work possible. As an officially recognized nonprofit, every contribution helps us continue building sustainable programs that create lasting change — now and for years to come.
Together, we are creating something meaningful, rooted in compassion, dignity, and hope.
