Mission Statement
A nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing preventable health and social problems in communities of need locally and internationally
About This Cause
We are committed to raising funds and awareness to address preventable health and social problems in communities of need. We are a small grass-roots organization allied with similar non-profits across the globe. We aim to keep our overhead as low as possible in order to direct virtually all of the funds raised to the projects themselves. The purpose of the foundation is to fund projects that integrate the disciplines of medicine, public health, the social sciences and law to foster innovative approaches for the promotion of health and well-being and the reduction of disease and suffering. The Undaunted Carnival Foundation was founded in 2004. Since then, we have raised more than $100,000 and donated more than $70,000 to help fund projects both locally and internationally. The remainder of those funds are in a savings account, as we have virtually no overhead aside from required fees and permit expenses. Projects and Partners: Our largest project, the development of Youth Resource Centers in Rajasthan, India, has been completed. Our goal was to help small villages near Udaipur, India fund alternative activities for children and teenagers as a way to mitigate the problem of the migration of these youth from their villages to large cities. In 2005 we started funding 3 centers. At its zenith, there were over 40 Youth Resource Centers in the Udaipur district. Funding and sustainability of these centers has been taken over by the villages themselves along with other local non-profits. And our role has come to an end. Our partner in this effort was the Seva Mandir foundation (www.sevamandir.org). We really enjoyed working with them and have great admiration for the work they have been doing in Rajasthan for over 50 years. We have started another international partnership in Guatemala through the organization Garden's Edge (gardensedge.org). We have given them a grant to help bring to market seeds and crops historically and culturally important to native Guatemalans. We encourage you to check out their web site and learn more about their efforts. About two-thirds of our grants have gone to local non-profits. Below is a partial list of places that have received funding from us. We feel very good about these organizations and the work they are doing in Albuquerque.
