About DISHARI FOUNDATION

Dishari Foundation is a California-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit operating in the San Francisco Bay Area that focuses on cultural and educational programs, particularly Bengali language instruction and community literacy resources. Founded as a community language school in 2014, the organization runs the Dishari Bangla School (in-person and online classes), a free Bengali public library, and community events intended to preserve language and promote inclusive, secular values. In recent years Dishari has maintained active filings with California regulators and expanded its digital presence (including a mobile app and online class offerings) while continuing weekly library access and community programming.
