2023 Dec Update

Dear Friends,                                                                                                  

“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” I truly believe this because several of our former students are returning to support other students at the Siri Foundation by donating their time and money. I am grateful to them and our teachers who have mentored them.

Aligned with last year's commitment, the governing body and trustees have once again covered all expenses, enabling us to successfully ensure that 100% of the donations directly impact our cause. Actions indeed speak louder than words, and I take immense pride in our team's unwavering dedication to honoring this promise.

Big news! I am thrilled to announce that the Siri Foundation has been awarded the FCRA certificate from the Government of India on May 30, 2023. This means we can now accept donations from anywhere in the world, and we are more committed than ever to continuing our work in the field of education, serving underprivileged children. It took almost five years to obtain the necessary approvals, but the wait was entirely worthwhile.

Additionally, Siri has received approvals from TechSoup in India, as well as from major corporations such as Google, Microsoft, Adobe, Canva, and the widely recognized employer-matching donation platform, Benevity. We aspire to broaden our collaborations with enterprises worldwide and partner with global charitable organizations like Asha for Education and Spoorthy in the USA in the years ahead.

Consequently, we have tripled our annual budget for the 2023 academic year. Most students at Siri benefit from support spanning 4 to 6 years throughout their educational journey, reflecting our steadfast, long-term commitment to ensuring their future success in life.

Heartfelt thank you, Asha for Education Kansas City Chapter, for your incredible support and partnership for the past ten years.  Your commitment has made a huge difference in our mission to help underprivileged children through education.

Thank you,

Srini Chintala | Founder & Trustee | Dec 23, 2023
