True Volunteer Foundation (TVF) is an International Non-Governmental Organisation, founded in 2004 by Michael Padmanathan. The Foundation's ultimate goal is to reducing extreme poverty in the developing world, which it achieves by working with three parties:

1) People interested in becoming volunteers as part of a charitable entity which has a near zero cost base
2) Small charities who have excellent capabilities in implementing projects and require fund generation
3) The corporate sector with philanthropy and prepare them for the future (i.e. ISO 9001 2040)

The Foundation has 5 charitable brands; LifeCycle (children), GreenCycle (environmental), PhoneCycle (rurally disenfranchised), AnimalCycle (animals) and SeniorCycle (senior citizens). An experienced organisation also manages a complex value chain where small charities are carefully selected and legally bound to meet pre-defined criteria to maximise the benefit to each ultimate beneficiary.
