About Telugu Association of North America
Telugu Association of North America (or TANA, as it is well known) is the oldest and biggest Indo-American organization in North America. TANA was founded at a convention in New York in 1977 of Telugus from all over North America and was incorporated in 1978 as a not-for-profit organization. TANA’s mission is to identify and address social, cultural and educational needs of North American Telugu Community in particular and Telugu people in general. TANA aims to perpetuate, integrate, and assimilate the cultural heritage of the Telugu-speaking people into the mainstream of North America. Telugu and Indian ethnic organizations around the world look up to TANA as a pioneer and role model for its various innovations in promoting culture and serving the community.
TANA Foundation, the charitable arm of TANA, spends millions of dollars each year in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states of India, home to Telugu people, in pursuit of useful and essential projects in literacy, education, sanitation, disease prevention, health promotion and rehabilitation. TANA Foundation’s Project Envision is well known for the help it provided in restoring eye sight to thousands of rural people. In 2005 and 2009, TANA helped build colonies of homes for people devastated by tsunamis and floods. TANA has founded and maintains a rehabilitation home for street children in Vijayawada. The many projects sponsored by TANA Foundation include building of libraries, schools, temples, roads and protected water supply systems.
TANA is engaged in many social activities in North America as well. Many members volunteer their time, efforts and other resources to community service. Every year, TANA presents backpacks and other school supplies to children in low income school districts in various cities across North America. TANA members help conduct health camps and take part in disaster relief activities across the world. The many volunteers of TANA Emergency Assistance Management Team(Team Square) are well known for their tireless efforts in assisting distressed North American Telugus in times of catastrophe. Thru its Business Conferences, TANA nurtures and encourages entrepreneurship among Telugus.
