About Us

Taranga L.W. Foundation

Taranga L.W. Foundation was created from a shared desire to support those quietly doing good work in their communities. We fund small, grassroots organizations that offer mental health care, coaching, somatic therapy, acupuncture, and youth development programs. By keeping our team intentionally small, we ensure resources go directly to the people and projects that make the greatest difference. Our values are simple: compassion, integrity, wellness, and the belief that every person deserves access to support and possibility.
