Varustaa, a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization, was founded by Allen and Michelle Tedder for one purpose - To Equip and Provide. It is an exciting new concept, designed to bring non-profit organizations, volunteers and corporate partners together in both a global and local effort to meet the needs of our communities and our planet.

The word Varustaa is a Finnish word meaning “to equip, supply, prepare or provide”. There is also significance in the word being of Finnish origin, in that it is our goal to help organizations, as well as ourselves, “finish” the task they have embarked upon.
