Aastha Horizons Fund

A nonprofit organization

“Aastha” is a word in the Indian language meaning belief, faith, trust, hope for a better tomorrow. Like the sunrise over the horizon which symbolizes hope and a new day, the Aastha Horizons Fund will create significant impact while addressing community needs and will provide community members with a channel for collective philanthropy.

The fund will have a long-term focus but also the ability to support urgent needs in the community. This fund is a giving circle, which means it welcomes other donors to contribute their gifts, time, and ideas for organizations to receive grants.

Mission

Established by a group of local Asian-Indian professionals, the fund reflects their care for Lancaster County and commitment to supporting the community for the long-term. The fund launched with support from this group of founding advisors and invites contributions that will support urgent community issues as well as build resources that will continue into the future.
