Kangyur Rinpoche International
Songtsen.org is the website for Songtsen projects led by Pema Wangyal Rinpoche and includes KRF/Kangyur-related initiatives. Leadership names on the foundation's IRS filings (Pema Wangyal listed as director) match people referenced on Songtsen, suggesting an affiliation, but the site does not explicitly list the EIN for Kangyur Rinpoche International.

Ideal Applicant
A small cultural-heritage or Tibetan Buddhist organization closely connected to Kangyur Rinpoche Foundation activities or introduced by an existing leader in that network.
Good Fit
- • Direct programmatic alignment with Tibetan Buddhist cultural preservation or KRF activities.
- • A pre-existing relationship or introduction to the foundation's leadership or the Kangyur Rinpoche Foundation.
- • UK-based or project work directly tied to the recipient network supported in 2023.
Geography
Observed giving is concentrated in a single foreign country (England) in the only active grant year, while the foundation is registered in New Mexico; multi-state or national breadth is not evident.
Recipient Variety
The only recorded grants (2023) went to one recipient; across the three years available the foundation funded a single external organization and shows no diversity of grantees in observed filings.
New Applicants
The foundation states it funds only preselected applicants and the observable grant behavior shows funding tied to a closely related UK beneficiary; based on that declaration and the 2023 pattern, unsolicited new entrants appear unlikely to gain awards.
