GMA Foundation
Giving back to our roots — schools, villages, scholarships, and humanitarian projects in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
About the GMA Foundation
The GMA Foundation channels community generosity toward development and humanitarian projects in the home villages and towns of the Munnurukapu community in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Through the Foundation, GMA members in the United States invest in the communities that shaped their families.
Foundation Programs
Adopt a Village
GMA chapters or individual donors sponsor a village for 1–3 years — funding infrastructure (roads, sanitation), school improvements, health camps, and economic development. Learn more
Adopt a Student (India)
Sponsor a deserving student's education from primary school through college in India. Full scholarship covers tuition, books, and living expenses. Reports sent to sponsors quarterly.
My School My Responsibility
Rebuild and modernize government schools in home villages — computers, libraries, sanitation, desks, and teaching materials. Each school is matched with a GMA donor family or chapter.
Health Camps
Annual health camps in home villages — free medical checkups, eye screenings, dental care, and women's health screenings. GMA volunteers and local doctors provide services.
Agricultural & Livelihood Support
Equipment grants, training, and market access support for farming families in Munnurukapu home villages — helping families increase income and break cycles of poverty.
