The Arman Roy Foundation was established in 2019 to honor the memory of Arman Roy, a young man with an infectious smile, selfless spirit and remarkable passion for technology.

Even before he could tie his shoelaces, Arman seemed to master technology effortlessly: computers, drones, virtual reality, robotics, programming, blockchain and anything “smart.” But he also understood how fortunate he was to have access to
technology and the opportunities it created.

In 2017, Arman read about Detroit students without internet access and community organizations finding innovative ways to connect underserved neighborhoods. Inspired, he told his father, “Dad, this is the kind of work I want to do.”

Arman’s name means “hope” in Hindi, and today his vision lives on through our work, giving underserved young people access to technology, education and opportunities that open doors, spark dreams and create a more hopeful future.

Arman’s bright and beautiful spirit lives on through every young person we reach.
