who have  have made a long term commitment to Ghar Sita Mutu.

Beverly Bronson, a London native, founded Ghar Sita Mutu in 2001 and has directed the expansion of the charity since then. She splits her time between Nepal and New York, where she operates a small antiques shop. In the U.S. she works with volunteers to administer the organization, and she oversees a small paid staff in Nepal.

 

Ghar Sita Mutu is a very lean organization with a small amount of overhead. Funding comes mainly from individual donors who attend a yearly fundraiser and read her bi-yearly newsletter. Ghar Sita Mutu received its first grant of $5,000 from The Shelley and Donald Rubin Foundation of New York, NY, in 2007 to start a felt-making project.
 

 

 

 

Ghar Sita Mutu currently operates with a fiscal sponsor, The Candy Jernigan Foundation for the Arts, which receives and distributes its donations. As an non-governmental organization (NGO), Ghar Sita Mutu has an advisory board in Nepal. The organization is in the beginning stages of obtaining a 501(c)3, which will allow it to operate without a fiscal sponsor and create a board of directors in America to help guide the organization.
