The Gandhi Foundation of USA is a 501(c) non-profit organization
that promotes the philosophies of Mahatma Gandhi and also Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr., who looked to Gandhi as a role model in
non-violence, community service and social justice. The foundation
was born in Atlanta from efforts to honor Gandhi, resulting in the
dedication the statue of Gandhi at the Martin Luther King, Jr.
