Our Story

Parvati Foundation is a Mody-Modi family trust established in memory of our grandmother Parvatiben Sakerlal Mody, known as Palyba.

Originally from Godhra, Gujarat, India, the majority of our family has migrated to the US over the last 55+ years. However, we have maintained strong connections with our roots and hometown.

Palyba was a self-sacrificing woman, full of love, compassion, an unwavering faith in God; she saw to it that no one who knocked on her door for help walked away disappointed. And she always reminded all her children and family that God gives you more so you can share it with those in need. To keep her memory and giving spirit alive, we have been doing charitable projects in India and the US for decades. And in 2017, we decided to create this foundation in her honor to better serve those in need.

Parvati Foundation is a nonprofit organization, registered in Michigan and approved as charitable organization under the US Internal Revenue Service's code Sec. 501 (c) (3)
