Konkani Charitable Fund Inc.

Namaskaru,

Tanvi and I became aware of the dire situation that is affecting our brethren in India due to the pandemic. Many Konkani families  in India, who are living below the poverty line, are suffering from severe financial difficulties. There is a generous organization that has been aiding relief called the Konkani Charitable Fund (KCF).  

My family has been involved with KCF for sometime now and we have decided to promote this cause to our near and dear.

Our goal is to collect a modest amount of $500, however, we hope to exceed this amount with your cooperation. We would like you all to open your hearts and wallets to aid this relief.

Some well-known Konkani philanthropists like T.V. Mohandas Pai, K.V. Kamath, Ramdas Kamath, Jaganath Shenoy, Dayanand Pai have also come together to help these families . Every small donation makes a difference.  We greatly appreciate your help during this difficult period in the lives of these poverty-stricken people. Your support helps us make an even bigger impact in the world!

Dhanyavadu and Devu Baren Karo!

Regards, 
Amay Kamath and Tanvi Mallya

Dear Family & Friends,

We founded Pai Team Fundraising with the sole objective to support educational causes in India during the COVID pandemic and beyond. After a successful fundraising campaign for Pratham India, Pai Team Fundraising has partnered with the US based Konkani Charitable Fund. We will donate all proceeds to the GSB Scholarship League in Mumbai, India. The 109 year old GSB Scholarship League ("the League") is a testament to our community's belief that Education Is Our Biggest Investment.

With the help of Mrs. Gita Pai, Chairperson of the GSB Scholarship League, we spent 2 months getting to know some of the past & present beneficiaries of the League. Their stories are uplifting, inspiring, filled with gratitude and give us much hope in these uncertain times. The League also prides itself on supporting as many female students as possible. Your funds will go to GSB & Saraswat students from Grade 5 to those pursuing postgraduate studies. Many are based in the smallest towns in Karnataka, with little or no resources. With the cost of education skyrocketing in India every year, we can do our part in reassuring our brothers and sisters that their educational futures now and in the future.

We have set up a GoFundMe option for all donors where GoFundMe is supported. Please note that all GoFundMe funds will be received directly by the Konkani Charitable Fund. As the Konkani Charitable Fund is a 501(c)3 charity under the Internal Revenue Service in the United States, all US made donations are tax exempt. No gift is too small!

For other payment options and to watch a presentation on some of the past recipients, please visit our team page on the Konkani Charitable Fund website. For more information about the GSB Scholarship League, please click here 

Our thanks fall short for your support.  We will come out of this pandemic stronger and in a better place! Please give generously!

With Gratitude,

Nandan, Lakshan & Arya, Pai Team Fundraising
