“Creativity takes courage.”
Henri Matisse

Born in 2009, Avani Carol Khanna was a force for good up until her death in 2024 due to cancer. Having become a published artist, an advocate for animals, and an avid volunteer, Avani made it her goal to spread joy to people and animals alike. In light of her passing, we set up this foundation to continue her efforts to improve the world. The three core initiatives of this foundation reflect Avani’s values: spreading the joy of artistic experiences to others, advancing cancer research to prevent future sorrow, and supporting environmental and animal welfare efforts to keep the earth beautiful.
