TNF requests its members to consider helping people and causes during the COVID-19 pandemics here in the U.S. as well as in rural India. Your donations for the U.S. will be channelled to food banks by your local chapter. Donations slated for India will assist hospitals in rural areas to procure Personal Protection Equipment (masks, gloves, gowns, etc). 

Vetrivel was honoured last year as the outstanding student of TNF. Like him, thousands of students are feeling despondent facing the uncertainty if and when the final exams for 2020 will be conducted.

Happy to announce that TNF has received the prestigious 2020 Adobe Employee Fund Grant, $ 20,000 towards our flagship ABC project.  

It was not easy!  This required submitting a detailed grant application, which was then reviewed by a panel to ensure we meet and exceed all requirements.  This is not only a validation of our ABC program by a third-party review committee, it is also proof that we are able to showcase our efforts and successes for receiving corporate grants involving a high level of scrutiny. We thank Adobe employee Mr. Thiru Sambandam for referring to us this Grant Program. 

This is an uncharted territory for TNF to further explore for future grants.  Please let us know of any other corporate grant opportunity that you are aware of and we will do the needful.  

Tamil Nadu Government, in its April issue of the magazine, உலகத் தமிழ், had an excellent coverage on the mutual beneficial aspects of the internship program sponsored by TNF for our children – an initiative that has been steadily gaining in popularity.
