The primary mission of our AAPI-CF is to serve
sick and indigent people through our 12-AAPI
health clinics in our motherland, Matrubhoomi.
Currently, we are working on ECHO Project for India and the Vaccination Project. To further maximize the our
efforts, we have also partnered with other NGOs in several initiatives such as the partnership with The Naandi Safe
Drinking Water Distribution Foundation and Seva International Inc. among others.
We pleased to announce that we are currently operating the Foundation with a 1% operating cost as opposed to
many other charitable organizations for which upwards of 40% of donations are spent in administrative costs. This
tremendous accomplishment could not be possible without the generous donations of our AAPI-CF members,
corporate partners and the AAPI membership.
In an effort to be self-sufficient, we hope to increase our endowment fund and be more independent in our finances.
Presently the lifetime pledge to be Patron-Trustee membership is $10,000, which is a one-time donation
for individuals. We also have several alumni & specialty societies who have donated $10,000 for the Organizational
Patron Membership.
Since voluntary donations are at an all-time low, the AAPI-Charitable Foundation is making a plea for more Patron
members. However, before we ask general membership to contribute and become AAPI-CF Patron members,
we must ensure that our leadership and key executive members show support for our cause. We proudly announce
that all current AAPI-CF -executive committee and past AAPI–CF Presidents are Patron Trustees.
We respectfully request that all AAPI Officers become Patron Trustees of our Foundation, if they have not already
done so. Toward this end, we have communicated with current AAPI-Executive Committee & AAPI Board of
Trustees (BOT) Chair, past AAPI Presidents & past BOT Chairpersons.
We also request state chapters, Medical School alumni organizations and Specialty societies to become AAPI-CF
Patron-Association-members so that we can achieve our goal of 50 new patron members.
We are also encouraging our own liaison officers and Directors to donate/raise at least $2,000 every year. We expect
new projects such as the new immunization programs and other worthwhile causes to attract more donors and
Patron members into our cherished organization.
We sincerely hope our appeal to be received with great enthusiasm.

and development, along with new projects that are underway.
