A large percentage of Indian society is struggling to survive and come above the poverty line. While they need help to lead day-to-day lives, many of them are looking for support to progress economically, socially and culturally.

The Indo-Americans who have flourished in the USA have one thing to thankful for: excellent educational system in India that enabled to them to acquire skills that are most valuable to this knowledge economy. After attaining professional success, Indo-Americans are looking to help the fellow brethren in India. We, the volunteers of IDRF, are doing our best to connect thousands of Indo-Americans with their fellow brethren by being a trusted entity that ensures proper handling of monetary contributions from its donors.

Over the last 14 years, IDRF has been the favored means for Indo-Americans to support impoverished masses in India. Founded by an ex-World Bank Economist, Dr. Vinod Prakash, IDRF is an Indo-American charity that is run entirely by volunteers. IDRF maximizes donors’ contributions to reach the needy by striving to minimize administrative costs.

IDRF Methodology

IDRF works with several Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in India to carryout various services to the poor and needy without discriminating against caste, race, religion or creed. NGOs are selected after a careful scrutiny on their credentials, past success, services focus and administration costs.

IDRF funds development, relief and rehabilitation activities in India. Development projects are focused on five key areas: education, healthcare, childcare, women, and tribal welfare. Relief and rehabilitation support is funded during natural or man-made calamities such as Orissa super cyclone, Gujarat earthquake or Kargil war.
