A 501(c)(3) public charity
Savithri Foundation gives scholarships to students who need them and grants to organizations that feed people, support healthy living, and serve families in need. No paid staff, no overhead to speak of. What comes in goes out.
What we fund
Our grants and scholarships go to people and organizations that meet clear criteria, so every dollar has a name attached to it.
Scholarships for low-income high school students in the greater Chicago area and in India who are pursuing higher education. Since 2023 we have funded the Savithri Foundation Scholarship at Adlai E. Stevenson High School: two awards of $2,500 each year for graduating seniors with strong academics and a record of community service.
Grants to 501(c)(3) organizations that distribute food, including local food pantries and hunger-relief drives. Every dollar goes to the organization; the foundation has no paid staff.
Support for nonprofits that provide access to healthy living, and for Hindu temples and community institutions that serve families in need.
