Writing as a well-wisher of Amrita-Seattle, I want others to know that ALL donations to Amrita go directly to fund their work in India. All the administrative duties, and website are all volunteer donations of time and even money of the volunteers. They help underprivileged women to continue with higher education who would not be able to do so without the financial backing of Amrita. Also they have added to their projects the bringing of pure drinking water to villages who are in arsenic affected water areas by new wells and filtering systems. They send out monthly emails for local fundraisers which in turn fund the good work they are doing in India, often in collaboration with the Ramakrishna Mission of India
