A world of
possibilities starts
with education

The trustees of the Nachiappan Foundation Trust (NFT) encourage our benefactors to join us in our mission of empowering dreams and changing lives of young, deserving, disadvantaged students with little to no financial means. We believe that educating children who are the first in their family to go to college will lead to a generational change and align with our motto, “Pay it forward”.

Your generous contribution will be acknowledged in the List of Donors on our site and with a minimum donation of Rs. 2 lakhs, an educational scholarship will be named in your honor or in any person you wish to honor or in the name of an organization.
