Our mission is to foster peace and goodwill through the arts, sports, food systems, and social justice.
We believe peace and happiness begins with each individual and support community-based organizations and initiatives that drive small but demonstrable change with a long-term horizon. We provide both general operating and project-based support.
ISF was founded by Sanjay Rawal in late 2013 as a vehicle to support documentary film. The name was inspired by this aphorism- “Remain always in the sunshine of your heart until it’s illumining rays have also flooded your mind.”
ISF does not accept unsolicited grant proposals or applications.
