The Manaloni Manishi Foundation (MMF) believes that every living thing is inherently connected through eternal consciousness. This connected consciousness allows one to look beyond the layers of societal fabric established over time by humans, empathize with another person in distress, and offer a helping hand to bring joy in someone else’s life and hence happiness to themselves. The Telugu phrase ‘Manaloni Manishi’ means ‘the person inside of us’, is a personified reference to eternal consciousness.

Founded as a non-profit organization based in Des Moines, IA, USA, and run by like-minded volunteers, the MMF raises funds to cater to the evolving financial needs of deserving students ranging from middle school through college, farmers that need capital for their farms, and families to establish means of self-sustenance after losing an earning loved one. While these services are primarily rendered in India, the MMF performs several volunteer activities and runs programs in the US as well.
