Sparsha USA Foundation

Over the past decade, many people around the world having ties with India have lent their generous support to Sparsha’s mission. In the US, these include PIOsliving in the US, Americans who have lived or worked in India, or others who are moved by the opportunity to make a huge difference in the lives of needy children through an award-winning organization with a proven track record of success. These include volunteers sharing their expertise, individual donors, business and government leaders, and corporations looking to support worthy causes.

To help interested US-based donors support Sparsha’s mission, in February 2022, we’ve registered Sparsha USA Foundation, a Delaware-based 501(c)(3) organization which allows tax exemption for US-based donors. According to federal regulations, we’ve created a US-based Board of Directors of successful and committed business leaders to oversee the activities. To ensure we stay efficient and aligned with Sparsha’s mission, Gopinath Ramappa, the founder of Sparsha, is included on the Sparsha USA Foundation board as well. We’ve designed the organization to have full transparency and minimal overhead, so that donations are put to maximal use.
