The Infinity
Foundation categorizes its two major areas of philanthropic
activity as wisdom and compassion. Its programs in the area
of "wisdom" are intended to encourage contemporary
society to rise above Eurocentrism and appreciate the contributions
to world civilization made by non-Western cultures. In particular,
it seeks to improve the quality of education about India by
challenging stereotypes about Indic traditions and bringing
to light their often unrecognized contributions to knowledge.
The Infinity Foundation is especially concerned about the
prevalence of these stereotypes in American classrooms and
in the media. The grants made by the foundation under the
heading of "compassion" go to nonprofit organizations
in the following broad program areas: charitable activities,
holistic healing, and scientific, religious, and educational
activities.
