You can make a difference. When people join together to support the Bhutan Youth Development Fund programs – programs that bring education, employment and meaningful opportunities to children & youth — the impact is profound. Every small donation adds up, and together with other small donors, the outcome can have a positive effect for youth across Bhutan.
The Bhutan Youth Development Fund accepts donations. Donations can be made through the Bhutan Foundation in the USA, or directly to Bhutan YDF in Bhutan.
The Bhutan Foundation is a tax-exempt organization under section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code – Federal ID # 13-3376290. Bhutan Foundation receives donations in the USA on behalf of Bhutan Youth Development Fund and other NGOs in Bhutan.
