The Vishnu Murthy Foundation aims to bring the power of knowledge to young people across the world. Below are some of the main initiatives the foundation plans to take on.
Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology - Supporting volunteer programs for high school students to spread STEM awareness, which is something Vishnu was incredibly passionate about. We support programs such as TJ Biocode Hackathon and Hack TJ.
Local Community - Donations to local organizations whose mission aligns with helping children in the community to feel included and well-supported. We plan to host fundraising events such as an annual 5K to support mental health awareness initiatives for teenagers, young adults, and families.
Giving Internationally - Funding the education of underprivileged children in India to help them break boundaries and achieve goals they would not be able to otherwise.
The Vishnu Murthy Foundation is founded on the values of empowerment, camaraderie, passion, compassion, and integrity.
