Our Story
The Global Munnurukapu Association (GMA) was founded by dedicated NRI volunteers who recognized the need for a transparent, accountable, and truly free community organization for Munnurukapu families across the United States and around the world.
The Munnuru Kapu community traces its roots back centuries — water-finders, cultivators, builders, and leaders from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Today, our families have built remarkable lives across the United States in technology, medicine, business, and the arts. GMA exists to keep that community closeness alive across oceans, time zones, and generations.
What We Stand For
Service is the work, not a slogan.
Culture is what we live, not what we display.
Equality in how we welcome every family.
Every member can see where every dollar goes.
Our children's futures matter as much as our past.
Key Commitments
- Free membership, always. No fees, no tiers, no insider class. Every Munnurukapu family is a member family — full stop.
- Radical transparency. EIN 99-0838356. Form 990 published the day it is filed. Any member can verify our finances in 60 seconds.
- Community first. Every program, every decision, every dollar serves the community — not administrators or prestige.
- Bilingual by design. English and Telugu, both first-class in everything we do.
- Globally connected, locally rooted. US chapters that know their neighborhoods, linked to a global network.
