Prem Foundation is a small family charity built on a simple practice: we set aside a tenth of what we earn and give it to those in need, from community kitchens near home to families abroad.
Our family keeps a simple discipline: one tenth of what we earn is set aside for giving, first, before anything else. It is not charity from surplus. It is a share that was never ours to keep.
We founded Prem Foundation to carry out this practice with care and accountability: every contribution is recorded, every distribution serves a charitable purpose, and no one in the foundation takes a salary. Prem means love, and that is the whole idea.
Monthly support for community kitchens that serve free meals to all comers, so that anyone who arrives hungry leaves fed, no questions asked.
Contributions to nonprofits that fund education, community institutions, and relief projects across North America.
Direct help for families in need overseas: food, medical support, and assistance in hard seasons, delivered through trusted volunteers on the ground.
Recognized tax-exempt by the IRS, effective October 26, 2023. Donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law.
Verify us anytime in the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search or the California Registry of Charities and Fundraisers.
The foundation is run entirely by family volunteers. Aside from small bank fees, everything given goes to charitable work.
Since 2024, Prem Foundation has distributed more than $50,000 to community kitchens, charitable organizations, and families in need. We file annual reports with the IRS and the State of California, and we are glad to share them with any donor who asks.
