Bhartiya Mandal Foundation (BMF) is a non-profit organization based in San Francisco, California, dedicated to preserving Indian—especially Gujarati—heritage while fostering cultural pride, community bonding, and philanthropy. Entirely volunteer-driven, BMF organizes a wide range of cultural events such as Garba/Dandiya nights, Diwali celebrations, picnics, and music or dance performances that keep traditions vibrant for younger generations. Alongside cultural programming, the foundation actively supports charitable causes both locally and internationally, including hunger relief and healthcare initiatives. With a strong commitment to service, minimal overhead, and more than $150,000 raised and donated over time, BMF continues to serve as a vital hub for cultural preservation, celebration, and community giving in the Bay Area.
