Kalaadhaanam supports Suyam Charitable Trust

Kalaadhaanam simply translates as “art donation”. A simple concept envisioned by our founder and principal Kavitha Jayaraman.

Our mission is “Seva through Vidya” or “Teach to reach”. We raise funds for various social agencies working specifically towards improving the lives of underprivileged kids, through the medium of education. 

When contributing to various social causes in India, Kavitha realized that there is a lack of consistent funding and contributions coming into smaller organizations due to their inability to market themselves. Most of the contributions came from referrals and well wishers but it was not regular and sizable enough to sustain these social initiatives. This formed the backstory for Kalaadhaanam. The students contribute every month directly to various social funding initiatives identified by Kalaadhaanam through a quarterly funding program via various crowd funding portals. 

Our long term goal is to have art educators around the globe join the movement and enable an ecosystem through arts education that helps fund small scale NGOs in every country.
