Reliability Tier3
A tertiary encyclopedic reference for organizational founding and structure facts; treated at the same tier as other Wikipedia-sourced organization citations already live in this database. NotesTertiary reference, read directly for this entry. States Buddhist Global Relief was founded in 2008 by Bhikkhu Bodhi; that after the December 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami he and a circle of dharma friends raised roughly 160,000 US dollars for relief and found there was a dearth of Buddhist organizations offering charitable relief; that in 2007 he published an essay titled A Challenge to Buddhists urging greater Buddhist social engagement; and that the organization's mission is to combat chronic hunger and malnutrition through long-term solutions including women's education and economic opportunity. Reliability tier 3: a tertiary encyclopedia reference, used here only for uncontested founding-history detail that does not conflict with the organization's own IRS Form 990 filing.
