Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition
The FPMT is an organization devoted to preserving and spreading Mahayana Buddhism worldwide by creating opportunities to listen, reflect, meditate, practice and actualize the unmistaken teachings of the Buddha and based on that experience spreading the Dharma to sentient beings. We provide integrated education through which people’s minds and hearts can be transformed into their highest potential for the benefit of others, inspired by an attitude of universal responsibility and service. We are committed to creating harmonious environments and helping all beings develop their full potential of infinite wisdom and compassion. Our organization is based on the Buddhist tradition of Lama Tsongkhapa of Tibet as taught to us by our founders Lama Thubten Yeshe and Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche.

The Social Services Fund Offers Support in Many Areas
The fund focuses on grants that support children in Nepal, India, and Mongolia that are of Tibetan, Nepali, Sherpa, and Indian heritage. Grants help poor schools in these countries and support hostels, and Tibetan refugee communities. Investing in education through schools is one way we can help break the cycle of poverty in disadvantaged areas. Since 2012, grants have been offered to seven schools providing education to over 1500 children.
Healthcare
The fund provides grants for health clinics in India and Mongolia, as well as offering grants hospices, in other parts of the world. In the past the fund supported the building of an eye hospital in Tibet and provided medical aid after the Nepal earthquake in 2015.
Helping the Elderly, Refugees and Destitute
Dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of those in need, particularly in India and Mongolia. With a compassionate approach, we offer grants to support projects that serve vulnerable populations, such as children, the elderly, the sick, and those who are extremely poor. Our grants are aimed to fund initiatives that can make an impact in local communities. This includes providing help for vital resources like health clinics, soup kitchens and for old age homes supporting elderly Tibetan refugees in India. Since 2015, the fund has offered grants to seven homes for the elderly which provide accommodation for approximately 400 elders.
The fund also provided over $2.14 million in grants for immediate relief and later rebuilding efforts after the 2015 Nepal earthquake. This was due to the kindness and generosity of so many—please rejoice! Grants were sent for basic necessities needed for survival such as food, water, tents, bedding, and medical aid to many who lost everything in remote regions. Later on, grants were given to rebuild a number of monasteries and nunneries.
Caring for Animals
Support the saving lives of animals, as well as food, shelter and medical care. The Animal Liberation Fund is also part of the activities of the Social Services Fund and you can learn more and donate directly to the Animal Liberation Fund.
Since 2016, FPMT’s Social Services Fund has been offering vital support to elderly homes in India and Nepal that provide care for Tibetan refugee elders who have no one else to care for them. In 2023, we granted US$169,067.19 to … Read more »
