Sometimes A Little Help Can Change Everything.
Tummala Foundation provides grants and charitable assistance to help people, families, communities, and organizations facing real needs.
Many of the needs we support are identified directly by our Foundation, partners, local organizations, and broader network.
But sometimes the person who knows where help is needed most is you.
You can apply for assistance, nominate someone who may need support, tell us about a community need, or request funding on behalf of an eligible nonprofit or charitable organization.

Tell Us What You NeedOur Network Can Help A Good Cause Go Further.
Foundation initiatives can be amplified through participating nonprofit, community, business, professional, and donor networks.
Partner companies may help amplify selected charitable initiatives through their audiences, services, resources, communities, fundraising efforts, and direct charitable support.
That means a story discovered in one community can potentially reach people far beyond it.
Support The Work That Matters To You.
Supporters may choose to contribute to Tummala Foundation generally or to eligible Foundation funds and featured charitable initiatives made available for designated support.
When you support a featured initiative, your contribution supports the Foundation's charitable work associated with that initiative. Tummala Foundation retains the discretion and control required over charitable funds and determines their use consistent with its charitable purposes and applicable requirements.
Nominations and applications do not guarantee funding, and grant decisions remain subject to eligibility, review, available resources, and Foundation approval.
