The Guru Krupa Foundation Inc funds a limited number of projects every year. We are always looking for new and worthy causes to support.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, however, applications received after March 31 will only be considered after June 30 of the same year. On average, the review process takes approximately 2-3 months. The Foundation prefers specific projects that have measurable deliverables (rather than generic funding) and prefers organizations that follow stringent accounting practices. Our preference is for funds to go directly towards the program being funded, rather than towards admininstrative costs.
