The results-oriented philanthropists and experienced management team are united by a shared commitment to tackling the problems that trap young people and families in poverty and limit economic and social mobility in the United States.
How We Work
The Tapasya Foundation is dedicated to addressing critical social issues impacting young people and families experiencing poverty, including unplanned pregnancy, foster care transitions, adoptions, employment opportunities, and recidivism. We achieve this by identifying, investing in, and expanding strategies that demonstrate the greatest potential for local and national impact.
Our rigorous investment approach involves assessing prospective national and regional "investees" against specific criteria. We then collaborate with them on planning to foster their growth and amplify their impact. Following an investment, we work closely with each investee to establish and track performance goals, linking payouts to the achievement of key milestones.
Beyond financial support, we provide investees with strategic advice and capacity-building assistance. This ranges from collaborating on growth plans to helping them build their evidence base. Furthermore, we continuously apply our meticulous investment methodology to identify a pipeline of fresh ideas, new collaborations, and innovative strategies for future investment, consistently striving to push the boundaries of conventional philanthropy.
Our Team
The Tapasya Foundation is led by a team of experienced, results-oriented leaders who share a common passion and commitment to improving economic mobility for young people and families. This team offers complete assistance for all Foundation initiatives, which entails pinpointing effective strategies, aiding in the creation of scaling plans, structuring agreements, overseeing the performance of our Partners, and fostering a pool of potential organizations.
