Who we are
Founded after a near-death experience, built on the belief that education should never be out of reach.
Hariom Helps Foundation is a US-registered 501(c)(3) public charity founded by Sankha Nagchoudhury, a senior technology executive, AI strategist, author, and philanthropist who has spent his career turning innovation into impact.
Our mission is simple: Creating Smiles through Education. We work with verified students whose schools and colleges have tuition outstanding, paying those invoices directly so the student can stay enrolled and keep dreaming.

FundMyDreams.org
Hariom Helps Foundation is part of a broader mission. Our sister initiative, FundMyDreams Foundation, connects students with the specific educational items they need — textbooks, laptops, calculators, software — purchasing and shipping them directly to verified students.
While FundMyDreams focuses on educational tools and supplies, Hariom Helps focuses on tuition and registration fees. Together, they cover both the materials and the access that students need to succeed.
Visit fundmydreams.orgWhat makes us different
- Every student is verified — enrollment proof, government ID, and financial-need documentation.
- Every donor is verified — protecting both donors and recipients.
- Funds are paid directly to the school, never to an individual.
- Every donation produces a sequential, downloadable 501(c)(3) tax receipt.
- Donors see when their funds have been disbursed, with payout proof.
- Founded by someone who turned a personal crisis into a lifetime of service.
Our scope
We focus exclusively on tuition and registration fees for K-12 schools and accredited colleges. We do not fund living costs, electronics, or unrelated expenses. This focus is intentional — it lets us verify quickly, disburse responsibly, and keep our impact unambiguous.
For students needing educational items like textbooks, laptops, or calculators, we refer them to our sister initiative at FundMyDreams.org, which handles direct procurement and shipping.
Donations are accepted as one-time gifts. Funds are pooled, then released to schools on behalf of specific verified students, in the order their applications were approved.
