What Nepal Rising (Daayitwa US) does

Nepal Rising (legally registered as Daayitwa US, EIN 82-4990055) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2015 and headquartered in Round Rock, Texas. The organization delivers humanitarian programs to under-privileged communities in Nepal, structured around three pillars: Relief (emergency food and health support during natural disasters including earthquakes, flooding, and Covid-19), Rebuilding (restoration of schools, transitional shelters, and heritage sites), and Resilience (human capital development via rural entrepreneurship, leadership, advocacy, sports-based interventions, and mental health support).

The organization operates a volunteer-run model with approximately 10 listed employees and a diaspora chapter network that includes Seattle. Fundraising is conducted through charitable donations collected via the Zeffy donation platform, the GoFundMe Australia fundraising channel, and the NRS Annual Gala (with the 2026 edition actively promoted). Beneficiary segments are Nepali communities affected by disasters and requiring infrastructure reconstruction, plus youth and community members targeted by development programs. Marketing channels are concentrated in organic social (Instagram, Facebook), the organization website, and the annual gala event. There is no proprietary technology platform, no disclosed revenue or financial data, and no evidence of AI/ML or software product capability; the underlying "technology" is programmatic delivery on the ground in Nepal supported by US-based volunteer coordination.
