Himalayan Children's Fund

The Himalayan Children's Fund (HCF) is a way for people around the world, and the west in particular, to connect with the lives of people in the Himalayan Region of Nepal, India and Tibet. Established in 1987 by students of Venerable Thrangu Rinpoche, HCF provides support for Rinpoche's many compassionate activities such as schools, monasteries and clinics. By providing support for education, food, clothing, medicine and other needs we hope to equip the children and adults with the tools necessary for life enhancement while helping to preserve their culture which is primarily of Tibetan and Buddhist heritage.

One Acre Fund

One Acre Fund supplies smallholder farmers with the financing and training they need to grow more food and earn more money from their farms. Instead of giving handouts, we invest in farmers to generate a permanent gain in income. We supply a complete service bundle of seeds and fertilizer, financing, training, and market facilitation—and we deliver these services within walking distance of the rural farmers we serve. We measure success in our ability to make farmers more prosperous and we always put Farmers First.

Yellow Ribbon Fund

Founded in 2005, the mission of Yellow Ribbon Fund is to provide support to severely wounded, injured or ill American service members, their caregivers, and families during lengthy medical recovery and reintegration into civilian life. Our Crossroads Program provides assistance to active duty and disabled service members and their families through lodging, temporary housing, local transportantion, and other support while the service member or veteran is receiving medical treatment away from home at Walter Reed Hospital in Bethesda, MD. Our Keystone Program follows the service member and family back to their hometown to provide support, encouragement, and bonding with military families with similar medical issues. The program provides wellness, educational, fitness, and social programs to aid the healing process and strengthen the family. Retreats provide respite from the daily grind of coping with medical issues. Our recipients rely on our donors to relieve the huge financial burden caused by temporay stays in the Bethesda area for treatment and to help build a local community of compatriots in their hometown.

Hurwitz Family Fund

The Hurwitz Family Fund was created to assist Rabbi Yitzchok Hurwitz and his family as they struggle with the devastating effects of ALS (Lou Gherig's Disease) one of the cruelest diseases known to mankind. Every day brings new challenges to Yitzy as he, his wife and seven children battle the effects of this dreadful disease.  We can only imagine how much pain and suffering the Hurwitz family is going through. Tragically, Yitzy can no longer speak nor does he have any ambulatory abilities.  Yet, his enthusiasm for life is so very evident simply by being in his presence.  Without even saying a word he is able to inspire all who come his way via his faith and perseverance in the face of one of the most horrible diseases known to mankind. We have committed ourselves to paying for all of Rabbi Hurwitz’s medical costs such as daily care and exploratory treatments.  We are also covering the Hurwitz family’s financial burdens during this trying time in order to allow them to spend this critical time together without other worries. Without your vital assistance, all of this would simply be impossible!  We are very grateful that you partnered with us for this special mitzvah.  On behalf of Yitzy and his family, thank you so very much. On behalf of Yitzy and his family, thank you so very much.
