Background
The Himalayan Children's Fund was established in as a U.S. based non-profit, 501(c)(3), in 1987 at the request of Venerable Thrangu Rinpoche. Mr. Richard Krivcher initiated the development of the non-profit and in 1989 Thrangu Rinpoche asked Ms. Debra Ann Robinson to take charge of the fundraising program. In 1999, the responsibility of directing the fund was passed to Mrs. Jane Lawless in Hancock, Maine and in December of 2004 Ms. Robinson resumed the position of Director in Los Angeles, California.Organization
HCF is a small volunteer organization which functions as a fundraising organization for Thrangu Rinpoche's many programs. We have an Annual Fund which receives and distributes general and sponsorship donations on a yearly basis and an Endowment Fund which we would like to increase to a sum that would create a source of funds to sustain these projects in the future.
