My Nonprofit Reviews

For over a decade, Hindu Charities for America (HC4A) has been on a mission to ‘Bridge Income Disparities through Education.’ Their founder, Harish Kotecha, has received many well-deserved public accolades for his efforts in building such an effective volunteer-driven organization that is making a difference in the lives of many by providing vocational scholarships as well as school supplies to homeless children.

Since 2014, nearly 200 Capital IDEA students have received scholarship support thanks to HC4A. As Capital IDEA’s Director of Development and Communications since 2017, I have seen the great care Mr. Kotecha takes in making sure their volunteers and donors understand the importance of their individual gifts and the impact they are making in the community. He understands the importance of creating a genuine connection between the donor and the nonprofit recipient. He makes sure our students’ stories are shared with their donors, and I think it has made a difference with their extensive fundraising efforts. Harish Kotecha is one of the most dedicated and committed volunteers, and he embodies HC4A’s motto: Serve Where You Live. ™
