I deeply believe in the cause and mission of this organization.

As a south asian, if you're not giving a minimum of $20/month to this organization, you aren't helping the future of your community to address and combat mental health in our community. $20 is a small price to pay to support these young people to make a difference. 

With love from New York City, we stand with you! 

This monthly donation is the least I can do for the folks advocating for so many hard-working Americans who serve daily and make a positive impact within the non-profit sector. Thank you! 

Thank you for advocating for our social sector! 

I'm thankful for our vets, my son was a Navy SeaBee for 14 years.

Zendo was my first home in psychedelic community and I continue to to use the skills I learned and practiced there. I am so grateful to the team for their dedication. It makes a big difference in the lives of the people we touch. Thank you for everything.

We aim to advance the mental wellbeing of our South Asian community.

In 2021, during their freshman year of college, our founders Ravi Parekh and Aaron Pandian suffered the loss of their close friend and roommate, Farhan, in a tragic murder-suicide where he took the lives of himself and his family. 

Farhan was struggling with a variety of inadequately treated mental illnesses. However, like so many members of the South Asian-American community, his parents simply lacked the tools, resources, and education necessary for providing him the care he needed.

They recognized that, as an immigrant South Asian family, they lacked the tools, resources, and education necessary for providing Farhan the care he needed. The tragedy of Farhan and his family revealed that there are many mental health issues unique to the cultural characteristics of South Asians. Understanding that these environmental factors and structural barriers to effective care created the situation which led to this tragedy, we theorized a youth-led grass-roots advocacy and education initiative that equips South Asian youth and other interested parties with access to tools and resources to understand, process, and empower.

Grass-roots efforts are often inspired by lived experiences. Our passion and drive to bridge the gaps in mental health care for South Asian individuals stem from our lived experiences.

Knowledge is empowering, and part of understanding mental health is to both learn and express empathy for those affected who are unable to receive effective care. To learn not to fear mental illness as a sibling, parent, friend, significant other, or affected individual and employ newly acquired tools that work to connect with the resources they need. 

MHISA embodies these ideals and provides us an outlet to engage those around us with a shared goal: to enable South Asians struggling with mental illness to lead better and healthful lives.

We are a community-building nonprofit organization committed to waste reduction and sustainable resource management.

The impending closure of the Ontario Landfill leaves us with big challenges. ReUse Systems Inc. will be part of the solution across the region, providing practical ways to reduce what we throw away. 

We understand that resources are finite, especially within our smaller communities. The linear waste stream of make, buy, use, and throw away continues to add to the landfill mass without regard to environmental or human impact. Our purpose is to create a retail store community hub and network for sustainable rural living within the Finger Lakes Region of New York State. We champion a circular economy model with reuse, waste diversion, skills training, resource sharing and social and environmental justice at the foundation of this effort. Together, we can create a future where less is wasted—and more is possible. 

**Who We Are:**

**VISION STATEMENT**
We envision regional communities collaborating to eliminate waste by sharing resources and fostering economic opportunity for a resilient future.

**MISSION STATEMENT**

Creating communities of compassionate care to transform difficult emotional experiences into opportunities for learning & growth.

Challenging or intense emotional experiences can be moments of profound insight, healing, and transformation. But they can also be disorienting, isolating, and overwhelming. In these moments, having access to compassionate support and culturally attuned care can make all the difference.

Zendo Project offers peer-based emotional support at events and provides educational resources to individuals, communities, and organizations. Our aim is to help people navigate complexity with greater resilience, care, and self-awareness. Through grounding, presence, and connection, we reduce potential harms and create space for learning, repair, and deeper relationships with self and others.

Supporters like you are essential to making this work possible. In a world where distress is often met with fear or force, our mission is to ensure that people in vulnerable states are met with compassion instead. Your contribution helps us continue to offer trauma-informed, non-judgmental care, and to create environments where all people can feel supported, seen, and safe—especially in moments when they need it most.

Zendo Project: Peer Support and Compassionate Care

The Fountain aims to envision, create and restore a global economy of reciprocity, inspired by nature and the sacred.

Mission, Vision, and Values

Our Vision
We envision a restored global economy of reciprocity inspired by Nature and the Sacred in which all beings thrive.

Mission 
Our mission is to enable collaborative action that bridges the original principles of ancient cultures into a new vision for sacred economics in service to sacred territories.

Our Values
The Fountain’s work is inspired and guided by the original principles including: Reciprocity | Respect | Responsibility | Relationship

What Is The Fountain ?

Imagine a global economic system truly aligned with care for the earth and the whole of life for the benefit of current and future generations, guided by the ancestral wisdom and technologies of cultures that have lived this way for the larger course of human history. This is the work of The Fountain.

There is growing awareness of the extraordinary wisdom originally developed and perennially sustained by the world’s ancestral indigenous peoples – peoples whose cultural genesis can be traced back to the original times. 

It is in the return to the sacred origins and principles of this ancestral wisdom – calling for the unification of all peoples with the earth – that a return to balance and sustainability is to be found. The vision of The Fountain, and the extraordinary sacredness of its origin and seed, is of partnership between sharing original teachings, conscious collaboration, and being in action to activate sacred economics and sacred territories.

Through the deep understanding, experience and relationships contained in its ecosystem, The Fountain exists to catalyse this journey to reconnection and ultimately to unification through its vision, mission, and values. 

The path forward is to restore a global economy of reciprocity inspired by nature and the sacred – bringing together conscious investors, philanthropists, whole system entrepreneurs, leaders on transformational economics and finance and holders of indigenous ecological knowledge. A multi-disciplinary, intercultural exchange united in service to the earth and future generations.

Gathering of elders from around the globe working in unity and in service to Mother Earth

Educational media that ignites curiosity and long-term thinking through science, culture, and ideas shaping our shared future.

**Our Mission**
Accelerator Media ignites fearless curiosity and bold, forward-looking perspectives on humanity’s future through transformative storytelling. Guided by this perspective, we create compelling media that explores human potential, fosters global connection, and inspires a shared vision for the future we can build together.

**Our Vision**
We imagine a future where curiosity unites us, exploration broadens our understanding, and long-term thinking shapes a collective path of discovery, connection, and possibility.

**Why Accelerator Media?**
In today’s media landscape, content is often designed to provoke quick reactions, amplify division, and reward short-term attention. This constant cycle of distraction is eroding our ability to think critically, reflect deeply, and engage with the complex issues shaping our shared future. There is a growing need for media that encourages curiosity, imagination, and long-term thinking—especially in an increasingly divided world.

Accelerator Media exists to meet this need. We produce thoughtful, curiosity-driven content that invites reflection over reaction and exploration over blame. Through our growing portfolio of original podcasts, we bring together leading voices in science, technology, and the humanities from around the world—fostering global dialogue, and inspiring audiences of all ages to think more deeply about our shared future. With support, we can expand our reach, elevate production quality, and make meaningful media more accessible to those seeking substance and connection in an increasingly fragmented world.

**Our Work**
Accelerator Media is building a dynamic portfolio of media initiatives designed to inform, inspire, and empower curious minds to become world-changers. Our core projects include:

●      [**Curiosity Entangled**](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAmp64147-7jBCBttxtlQ1HeE2Nf2pVc6)[ ](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAmp64147-7jBCBttxtlQ1HeE2Nf2pVc6)– *A* unique, non-hosted podcast bringing together visionaries from different disciplines for conversations driven by mutual curiosity. At the heart of our work, *Curiosity Entangled* exemplifies our mission by weaving interdisciplinary insights into a tapestry of discovery. These dialogues reveal unexpected connections, spark fresh ideas, and offer bold answers to humanity’s toughest questions.

●      [**Ignition Sequence**](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAmp64147-7gQX6xSAT9wArswbB7Gdjen) – A video podcast exploring the big ideas shaping science, technology, culture, and the humanities, and how they shape the future.

●      [**Go! For Launch**](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAmp64147-7iU0d0Wxa145AioTck3xPf1) – A podcast guiding young adults toward meaningful STEM careers, blending inspiration with practical insights from global experts and educators.

●      **Future Documentary Projects** – High-quality documentaries and cinematic explorations—around the world and beyond—that take deep dives into pressing questions about humanity’s future, including a planned docuseries evolving from *Curiosity Entangled*.

**Our Impact**
Accelerator Media launched its flagship podcasts, Ignition Sequence and Go! For Launch, to immediate success, garnering over 670,000 YouTube views and 1,500 subscribers in just the first ten weeks, demonstrating significant public interest. This rapid growth, driven entirely by volunteer efforts, validates the demand for content that explores profound questions and career paths in science, technology, and culture, and signals our potential for even greater impact as we expand.

**Primary Platforms**
Currently, Accelerator Media distributes content primarily through YouTube and leading podcast platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts. Our ambitious growth strategy includes future collaborations and distribution through major platforms such as PBS, Netflix, or Amazon Prime, especially for our documentary-focused project, Curiosity Entangled.

**The Need for Support**
At Accelerator Media, **we believe that knowledge drives the future**—shaping the ideas, innovations, and collective vision that will define humanity’s path forward. To produce this transformative content at scale, we need the financial resources to grow our team, enhance production quality, and expand our reach.

To date, all of our work has been accomplished by a dedicated volunteer team operating with minimal funding. This early momentum is a testament to the strength of our mission and the public demand for thoughtful, future-focused media. Now, to meet that demand and ensure long-term impact, we must transition from a volunteer-led effort to a fully supported organization with the capacity to grow.

With a fundraising goal of $1.5M, we aim to:

●      **Staff**: Hire producers, an education manager, and a marketing specialist to sustain and amplify our work.

●      **Operations**: Fund legal, accounting, and administrative essentials for stability and compliance.

●      **Production**: Boost quality for podcasts and documentaries, crafting stories that captivate and educate.

●      **Reach**: Expand globally through partnerships, digital platforms, and new media channels.

●      **Community**: Nurture a network of lifelong learners with evolving content, live events, and interactive forums.

**Why Your Support Matters**
Imagine a world where everyone embraces a century’s-thinking mindset and sees a path to shape tomorrow. A world where curiosity brings us together, exploration cuts through the noise of division and discovery unlocks the full potential of humanity.

That’s the future we’re building—with your support.

We invite you to ignite curiosity and inspire a future shaped by exploration and long-term vision. Your support empowers educational media that sparks curiosity, encourages critical thinking, and explores what’s possible for our shared future.

**Together, let’s spark the curiosity that shapes tomorrow.**

An institute dedicated to spreading and applying humanity's deepest and most consequential ideas.

Understanding how knowledge grows (the primary concern of *epistemology*) is one of the most fundamental questions that humanity has ever asked. Because the growth of knowledge plays a role in every human endeavor–from science to politics to creating artificial intelligence to raising children to entrepreneurship–getting the answer wrong necessarily leads to blind alleys and errors. Fortunately, Karl Popper, David Deutsch, and other thinkers have discovered and elaborated upon the right answer: that knowledge grows via conjecture and criticism.

Such a simple idea (the entire theory of which is called *critical rationalism*) has an enormous number of practical implications for all of the aforementioned fields and any other in which humans can make progress. While the revolutions brought forth by Newton, Darwin, and Einstein were profound and improved mankind's lot in the universe, even they were limited to particular strands of human endeavors. But epistemology is universal for any problem a person or society faces. Therefore, spreading critical rationalism and its implications will dissolve barriers to progress that most people do not even know stand in their way.
