TPRF has become my charity of choice for a couple of reasons: One, the dedication to a concrete value for the programs they support and initiate. Two, because of the person who founded it, Prem Rawat, who has held a remarkable consistency of purpose to teach the value and preciousness of life and this passion permeates the whole of the foundation and all the people involved and I truly enjoy the results of their wonderful programs too.

Sharing is caring. In a world lacerated by greed and selfishness, the effort of TPRF, helping the needed around the globe, is greatly inspirational. Once I've heard to the true revolution will happen the day that every human being on this planet will have its basics needs covered. To me, this is a practical way to help make that possible.

I have been a supporter of TPRF since its inception and from time to time I get correspondence about the work that is being done, the care and consideration that comes from TPRF is so heart warming, the smiles on the faces is absolutely rewarding. I have witnessed the work of one of the directors and my jaw dropped at the dedication to accomplishing a task with amazing perfection. I only wish I could more.

I have been a TPRF contributor since its inception more than ten years ago and a volunteer on its core team for almost 3 years. Especially during these recent years of being so close to the organization, I have found myself more and more amazed at how much TPRF accomplishes through the combined global efforts of volunteers and contributors like me. There are so many generous, dedicated people making TPRF what it is, each in his or her own way. I feel honored and uplifted to be one of them. Between TPRF and its supporters there is a kind of mutual admiration society. TPRF respects them, and they respect TPRF. I think many people share the feeling of amazement at what the simple and heartfelt good will of people can do through TPRF. To me, the guidance and the inspiration of TPRF's founder is the key to this overflowing good feeling. TPRF is still something of a "best kept secret," but I see that changing with programs like Food for People, now in India, Nepal, and Ghana, and Peace for People all over the world. To me, these two program titles -- Food for People and Peace for People -- summarize the TPRF story beautifully. I truly hope that TPRF will continue to gain the positive recognition it deserves, not because TPRF needs the recognition, but because I know that each person who begins to notice the goodness of TPRF is fortunate and richly blessed. Look and look again at TPRF. Absolutely, check the transparent financial reports that have earned it consistent top rankings from the analysts. By all means, explore its many wonderful projects to advance food, water, and peace globally. And listen for yourself to what TPRF’s founder has to say about food, water, and peace. Keep looking in all these ways and perhaps you will start to sense the quality of the feeling behind all this. That feeling is what I find unique, beautiful, and unforgettable.
The Great!

Did your volunteer experience have an effect on you? (teaching you a new skill, or introducing new friends, etc.)
Wow. Has it ever! I have honed valuable skills I can apply elsewhere, and I have created new global friendships and strengthened existing ones.
How did this volunteer experience make you feel?
Empowered. Humbled. Grateful. Great.

Anyone who volunteers for a project that helps others in need mainly hopes that their time and effort are truly valuable, that any money raised is used effectively and that somehow, even in a small way, we can make the world a better place. When I read stories at www.tprf.org I see clearly how their signature programs are indeed making an impact on the lives of many.

I am always amazed how a relatively small public foundation, powered by volunteers, can make such a positive impact internationally. There are many wonderful organizations that help provide the fundamental needs of food and water, but what makes The Prem Rawat Foundation (TPRF) unique is that it promotes the understanding that personal peace is also a fundamental human need, and it fosters dignity, peace and prosperity. I’m honored to be a volunteer for TPRF.

I enjoy donating to the Prem Rawat Foundation. I recently contributed this year as i did last for the World Water Day. The Adventure Project partnered with the Prem Rawat Foundation to help raise money to provide clean drinking water to over 200,000 people in India. What is great about this program is it works to provide a sustainable solution to help bring clean drinking water to people and help them maintain there water wells. It is nice to see your money go for good, make a difference and get reports back on where your money goes. I look forward to more great projects with the The Prem Rawat Foundation

I appreciate the regular blog posts with the details of where my donations are going. There is a great need for accountability in this day and age and I am comforted to know that even my small donation is making a difference in others lives. Knowing that a certain dollar amount provided water for 100,000 people matters to me. I'm thanked via email for every donation I make which is also a plus. Making some small bit of difference matters and knowing the specifics of what is being provided to those in need on a global scale matters too.

In Latinamerica the Prem Rawat Foundation has done great things, including providing help to reroof after a hurricane in Mexico, help in the quechua communities in the andes and great outreach programs in prisons.
The fact that most of the money collected goes to help and is very transparent helps me to donate.
Overall it is success story of a grass roots organization.
