Run By: Alisha Gupta

A little background:

I am the CEO and Founder of nonprofit Needed but Forgotten which was piloted in 2015 and aims to leverage excess and closeout manufacturer inventories of suitcases to improve the lives of foster children around  California. I now lead a 12 person team and have established partnerships with over 15 agencies and 5 retail companies providing not only suitcases but essential supplies during this pandemic.

I am an intern and youth lead for Maitri. Last February, I held a teen convention to help spread awareness about toxic masculinity, gender inequality, partner violence, and healthy relationships. My goal as youth manager is to reach youth audiences and inform them on topics that are often prevalent but ignored in discussion and to do so I organize and market community sponsorships and fundraiser events.

My latest venture is the What Cause Inspires You podcast launched and hosted by myself and run through Humanity Rising. I launched the What Cause Inspires You podcast as a way for students to share the service they are doing in their communities. I am also the marketing and social media head.
