Dr. Prem Reddy’s generous philanthropic spirit has positively impacted thousands of lives and has provided support to communities in the United States and overseas. Dr. Reddy and his Foundations assist individuals and organizations in countless ways, whether providing generous donations for educational facilities and scholarships for aspiring healthcare professionals or assisting those unable to afford medical care.

Dr. Reddy was born into a family of proud village leaders in rural India, where he learned the values and guiding principles that led to his remarkable accomplishments and generosity. The focus of Dr. Reddy’s charitable work has always been to give back to the communities and provide others with the same kinds of opportunities he had. He has gifted hundreds of millions of dollars to causes related to health care and education. In 1989, he established the Desert Valley Charitable Foundation, which was later renamed the Dr. Prem Reddy Family Foundation, with an initial gift of $1 million and a goal of providing and supporting healthcare education that will improve the quality of life in Southern California and High Desert communities.

The Victor Valley College Foundation honored Dr. Reddy for the largest private donation in the history of the college by naming its allied Health programs “The Dr. Prem Reddy School of Allied Health and Nursing.” The donation directly addresses the nursing shortage while assisting the next generation of healthcare professionals with scholarships and grants. Dr. Reddy also donated a Public Health Library to the High Desert Community.
