Nonprofit Initiative
Visit Nepal connects responsible travel and hospitality with education, child wellbeing, local opportunity and transparent technology — turning a giving commitment into a disciplined, locally delivered platform for lasting impact.
Nonprofit — in formation
Visit Nepal’s charitable work is a non-profit mission, not a commercial venture. It is being organised as a United States-based non-profit organisation, currently in formation and subject to legal, tax and governance review. We intend to seek the appropriate federal tax-exempt recognition, and until formation and board approval are complete we are not soliciting public donations through this page.
Mission & Vision
We start small and prove it: a limited pool of corporate-responsibility funding delivers one high-impact pilot on the ground while the governance and accounting framework is built in parallel. Every programme has a documented public-benefit purpose.
Mission
To strengthen communities in Nepal by connecting responsible hospitality and travel with practical education, health support, local skills, safer everyday commuting, safe visitor experiences and transparent technology.
Vision
A self-strengthening non-profit ecosystem where every visitor interaction, local partnership and digital tool contributes to a healthier society, stronger learning, dignified livelihoods and responsible stewardship of Nepal’s heritage.
Our Focus
These describe where the mission intends to work. They are not a fund open for contributions.
Accountability
No funds are being collected or disbursed today. If and when the organisation is authorised to run programme funding, these six steps will apply to every disbursement, without exception.
Board-approved programme, budget, recipient and purpose.
Partner identity, capability, legal standing, conflicts and safeguarding.
Milestone payments to verified accounts. No undocumented cash.
Agreements, receipts, proof of delivery and variance explanations.
Output, outcome, cost per beneficiary, exceptions and lessons.
Monthly field reports, quarterly reviews and an annual public impact summary.
Operating Principles
Launch Gates
Leadership & Governance
Protects the charitable intent, approves strategic priorities, and ensures the non-profit never becomes an extension of any private commercial agenda.
Leads formation, board design, bylaws, conflict-of-interest policy, the compliance calendar, internal controls and board reporting.
Validates needs on the ground, diligences local partners, confirms Nepal licensing, and controls field evidence and outcome data.
Builds mission-aligned relationships, manages public education, and keeps impact reporting honest and verifiable.
Named directors and officers will be published once the organisation is formed and its initial board is appointed.
We are building partnerships. If you are a hospitality operator, school, licensed health provider, community organisation, Nepal-based non-profit, licensed guide or transporter, or a company considering corporate-responsibility support — we would like to hear from you.
Work With Us
Visit Nepal’s non-profit organisation is in formation. Descriptions of structure, programmes, funding phases and any earned-revenue activity on this page are statements of intent, subject to United States and Nepal legal, tax, licensing and governance review. Nothing here is an offer or solicitation of charitable contributions, an investment offering, or legal, tax, medical or travel advice.
A United States tax-exempt organisation must be operated for exempt public purposes and avoid substantial private benefit; any regularly conducted trade or business not substantially related to that purpose may create unrelated business income tax exposure even where its proceeds fund charitable work. Foreign grants and Nepal activities require documented control, due diligence, restricted use and reporting.
Visit Nepal does not receive money. There is no donation, payment or collection facility on this website. The only donation channel linked anywhere on this site is the Government of Nepal’s Prime Minister Disaster Relief Fund, and clicking it takes you to the official government portal.
