About Amarnath Foundation

Working toward
sustainable affordable housing.

Amarnath Foundation is a Delaware nonprofit corporation founded in 2024 and recognized as a 501(c)(3) private operating foundation.

Why housing preservation

Older rental properties can serve an important housing role when repairs, rents and ongoing operations are managed responsibly. Our current effort assesses a path to preserve four properties in Anderson, Alexandria and Muncie, Indiana.

Existing tenancies come first. Vacant and distressed spaces need a verified rehabilitation plan before they can be represented as available homes.

Transparency

EIN: 99-3628811. Private operating foundation status is different from public charity status. Tax documentation and current program information are available on request; donor-specific tax treatment should be discussed with a qualified adviser.

We are reconciling ownership, occupancy, property needs and finances before offering new restricted preservation gifts.

Start with a conversation.

If you support affordable housing, operate housing services, or can help assess a preservation plan, we would like to hear from you.
