MISSION
-------
Creating Smiles through Education. Hariom Helps Foundation funds school and
college fees for verified students in the United States who cannot afford
them. Funds are paid directly to a verified school's bursar or fee office on
behalf of the student — money never passes through a student's hands.

WHAT WE FUND
------------
- Outstanding tuition and school fees, middle school through university
- Named scholarships and sponsor-funded tuition awards
- The Hariom Impact Scholarship Challenge, a skill-based scholarship for
  grades 9-12, including a $500 People's Choice award decided by public vote

HOW IT WORKS
------------
1. Students, teachers, schools and donors are verified before any match.
2. Donors give one-time, monthly, or as an annual sponsorship.
3. When a goal is met, the foundation pays the school directly.
4. A payout record is published and the donor receives a 501(c)(3) receipt.

RECOGNITION
-----------
Named Best Scholarship Nonprofit in the United States of 2026 by
