The Foundation follows a holistic approach to charitable giving. Project categories range from basic needs (food, shelter, health and basic education) to more esoteric ones (higher education, arts & culture, spirituality and the environment) :

Social Welfare
This category addresses the inequalities faced by people who do not have access to the most basic of human rights. The standard of living today varies, by several orders of magnitude, between the most and least fortunate of people, and there are many people for whom even basic material needs are not met. Our goals are to improve the lives of these people and give them the tools to break out of the cycle of poverty they live in.

Projects in this category include providing food and shelter to vulnerable populations (orphanages, old age homes); increasing children's access to education; improving the educational environment; empowering women & children; improving rural health outcomes; and, generally, uplifting disadvantaged communities.

Higher Education
This category addresses the human quest to understand the physical world we live in, and the natural laws that govern it. This quest for knowledge is best nurtured in higher study programs of universities and research labs, and our goal is to motivate students to pursue these programs.

Projects under this category include providing financial support for deserving students through fellowships at well recognized universities and research labs.

Spirituality, Arts & Culture
This category addresses the non-materialistic aspects of human life and its power to nourish, inspire & uplift the human spirit. Hindu culture and spiritual viewpoints have evolved over many millenia, and our goal is to remember and preserve these roots, while at the same time promoting cultural integration and co-existence with other viewpoints.

Projects under this category include activities related to preserving the traditional roots of Hinduism by supporting ashrams/patashalas and temples, and promoting cultural integration by supporting programs that raise awareness of India's traditional art forms, and culture.

Environment
This category addresses the preservation of the environment we live in. The Earth sustains us and provides for us, and we need to preserve and nurture it for our sake and for the sake of future generations. Our goal is to fulfill our responsibility by taking care of the environment we live in.

Projects under this category include clean water management initiatives, planting trees, and other such activities.
