A R Rahman Foundation

As an inclusive organization, the A R Rahman foundation provides equal opportunities to the economically disadvantaged. Through collaborative efforts the foundation explores innovate ways to achieve its goals. The Sunshine Orchestra is the marquee project of the A R Rahman Foundation. Socially and economically deprived children with an aptitude in music are provided free musical training. Once equipped with the requisite skills, endowed with confidence, they are groomed to explore opportunities and build a career in music, as teachers or as performers. Karunamirthasagaram, another project exploring the evolution of Tamil music over the last three thousand years, the project investigates the creative arena across history, the meaning of the raga, its classical ancestry, the innuendo of Tamil music from folk music to film songs, and to new age music, through the lives of Tamil musical scholars. Stepping up to the need of the hour and to show our solidarity to the people who have suffered due to various natural disasters, we provide them with support through our various humanitarian relief works. By setting standards in best practices for delivery of its services, the foundation strives to be an inspirational role model. With systems in place to ensure transparency & accountability, the foundation is committed to being proactive, sensitive and responsive.
