KAMNANJALI™ Foundation was founded in 2022 to honor the journey of a devoted and courageous mother and her three daughters who together navigated their mother's chronic illnesses, life-changing events, and financial hardship. Supported by a caring and inspirational father, the family persevered with resilience, kindness, generosity, and a shared belief in dreaming big. These lived experiences inspired the creation of the KAMNANJALI™ Foundation to transform struggles into purpose and help others facing illness, loss, or adversity to achieve their dreams.
We believe that anything is possible if there is a clear purpose, plan of action, positive mindset, relevant skills, and ability to pivot in face of challenges. The collective power of individuals, united around a shared purpose, shapes outcomes beyond what one person can achieve. Lasting social impact will be built through coordinated and collective action from each of us.
"I will not follow where the path may lead, but I will go where there is no path, and I will leave a trail."
- Muriel Strode
In the Hindi language, "Kamna" means desire, hope, or wish and "Anjali" means offering or gift. Together, KAMNANJALI represents an offering of wishes and a foundation rooted in care, guidance, and belonging. Centered on the belief that our first role in life is as a "daughter," the foundation builds an inclusive and expansive community where all the daughters uplift, guide, and celebrate one another.

Sustainable Impact
KAMNANJALI™ Foundation is leveraging the collective impact of professional women across diverse industries to partner with the organization in investing and cultivating these young minds. We are excited to embark on this journey alongside selected daughters who possess bright spirits and strong aspirations to transcend their present circumstances. They are pioneers in their personal lives, overcoming personal challenges while forging new paths as the first in their families to attend college or pursue an educational journey for careers such as nurse, pharmacist, lawyer, teacher, doctor, cybersecurity professional, nature conservationist, and more.
We offer holistic support that empowers them to pursue their goals, while inspiring a culture of giving back by uplifting one another and investing in future generations of daughters. This group dynamic and pay-it-forward mindset will turn our efforts into a lasting momentum for the community.
