Vision & Values

What GMA Is Built On

Our vision, our mission, and the five values we can be held to.

Our Vision

"GMA is the community organization our families choose because it makes their lives meaningfully better — and our children's lives meaningfully richer."

A home wherever you live. A connection wherever your cousin lives. A program for every age in the family. A way to celebrate who we are.

Our Mission — Five Things We Exist To Do

  1. Connect — Our families to each other, across cities, countries, and generations.
  2. Educate — Our children, and ourselves, in the skills and culture that matter.
  3. Celebrate — Our heritage at festivals, gatherings, and milestones.
  4. Support — Community members when life calls for it — neighbor to neighbor.
  5. Steward — Every dollar and every trust placed in us with full transparency.

Our Values

  • సేవ · Seva · Service — Service is the work, not a slogan.
  • సంస్కృతి · Samskruthi · Culture — Culture is what we live, not what we display.
  • సమానత్వం · Samanathvam · Equality — Equality in how we welcome every family.
  • సూచి · Soochi · Transparency — Every member can see where every dollar goes.
  • స్పృహ · Spruha · Aspiration — Our children's futures matter as much as our past.
