Who we are

Our Foundation

Dhanam Foundation Inc. was co-founded with a shared vision that no one should ever have to go hungry.

Our journey began with a simple, yet powerful idea: combining our passion for serving the community, our love for pizza, and our interest in technology. From that vision came Pizza for a Purpose, an intuitive app that makes it easy for restaurants, grocery stores, and individuals to donate pizza directly to soup kitchens and food pantries.

Our Mission

To foster a culture of giving, deeply rooted in the values of ‘Dhanam’. In Sanskrit ‘Dhanam’ embodies the spirit of compassion and generosity.

Pizza for a Purpose

Our user-friendly smartphone app, Pizza for a Purpose, facilitates the donation of pizzas from restaurants and grocery stores to local charities. Our platform streamlines the donation process, allowing restaurants to specify pickup times, quantities of pizzas to donate, and select nearby charity organizations to receive their contributions. Upon charity pickup, the restaurants receive a tax-deductible receipt.

The alarming statistics on national food insecurity, affecting over 47 million people in the U.S., including 1 in 5 children, highlight the urgency of our mission. This problem is just too big to ignore and requires collective action. We invite you to join us in our mission to combat food insecurity and bridge the gap to self-sustenance for those in need. Together, we can create a brighter and a more nourished future for all.

Our Impact

Pizza for a Purpose provides nourishment and hope to individuals and families facing hunger, strengthening communities and working towards a hunger-free future.

Our Approach

Pizza for a Purpose connects pizza restaurants and grocery stores with local charities, making it easy to donate pizzas through our app and help feed those in need. Check our App to view the statistics of our donations.

The app is available to download on the App Store. Community members can also download the app and make a tax-deductible donation, with the pizzas directed to a participating charity of their choice.

Testimonials

“We are extremely fortunate to have been chosen by Pizza for a Purpose to be the recipient of hundreds of donated pizza pies from local restaurants that go to feed families in need in our community. The founder of this wonderful organization, Anish Kaza, has a heart for families that struggle with food insecurity and developed this program to help partner with organizations like Boca Helping Hands to aid in fulfilling our mission. Anish has used ingenuity and compassion to develop a meaningful opportunity for local restaurants and community non-profits to join together in impacting the community and is a great example for others in his generation to emulate. Thanks, Anish!”

Bill HarperSenior Director of Operations, Boca Helping Hands, Boca Raton

Every time I see that pizza box, I smile. It reminds me that someone out there cares.
Bless you for the kindness you share.

Your food helps to keep me blessed, not stressed.

Annie P.Community Member at Boca Helping Hands

“As a senior living alone, receiving this pizza meant more than you can imagine. It gave me one less thing to worry about today, and I’m truly grateful.”

ClientThe Pantry of Broward

As the CEO of The Soup Kitchen, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for Anish’s vision and generosity with Pizza for a Purpose. His app has streamlined the process for restaurants to donate pizza, enabling us to offer more warm meals to those in need. Thanks to Anish’s commitment, a greater number of individuals in our community are receiving the nourishment they truly deserve.

Marlene Mejia CEO of The Soup Kitchen, Boynton Beach

“To be able to receive fresh, hot pizzas and hand-deliver them directly to our clients is just a blessing. The smiles on their faces, it’s very rewarding, whether it’s a grandparent taking it home to their grandkids, or whether it’s just a senior who having a pizza for dinner is a luxury item.”

Warren LubowCOO of The Pantry of Broward, Fort Lauderdale

Pizza for a Purpose was founded on a vision with the desire to help others by a young man that came into my restaurant in its initial stages in 2023. I was and am still very much committed to the project because I believe in the end result of the app. This app is easy to use. We restaurant owners are busy, with little time left for anything else. This app allows us to plan ahead and schedule donations . I strongly encourage pizza restaurants and grocery stores to join and support our community. Besides a tax benefit on the donations, there is also a great personal satisfaction to help those in need. We live in the greatest country in the world and seeing hungry children is absolutely devastating. We must do our part to better the future of these children and families.

Pizza For A Purpose is a great way to give back to the community. This app makes it easy to donate Pizzas on your schedule and there is no need to deliver the donations, as the pizzas are picked up from your shop.

Brian Persten Owner, 4 Brothers Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria, Delray Beach

When the pizza arrives, it’s more than food. It’s a treat that makes us feel remembered.
Thank you for giving us a slice of joy!
