Friends of Jagruti is a registered Canadian not-for-profit association. Our goal is to raise awareness and funds for JAGRUTI (Awakening) SEVA (Help) SANSTHA (Institution), an NGO that provides educational, health, microfinancing and counseling support to women and families in Pune, India.  Jayashree Kale, JAGRUTI's  managing trustee, founded the organization in the 1990s.  JAGRUTI receives NO funding from government agencies but is a registered charity with the Government of India.

Every penny you donate to Friends of Jagruti is sent directly to JAGRUTI SEVA SANSTHA to support their activities.  We have no administrative costs.  All fundraising activities—including accounting, publicity, website maintenance—are carried out by volunteers.

As a Canadian not-for-profit organization, FRIENDS of JAGRUTI cannot issue charitable tax receipts.
Members (donors) may see financial statements upon request.
