A quarter-million dollars of quiet care for eight homes of Tibetan elders in India

The Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition's Social Services Fund reported its 2026 grants: US$247,591 spread across eight homes for elderly Tibetan refugees in India — in Dharamsala, Kalimpong, Bir, Bylakuppe, Mundgod, Hunsur, Kollegal and Odisha. The money covers running costs plus repairs that matter: a new health clinic at Jampaling, home to 74 elders, and cyclone-damage repairs at Phuntsok Ling. Two more elder projects in the Dalhousie and Paonta Cholsum settlements received contributions too. The fund has been doing this quietly since 2015.
