Sambodh Foundation Kerala (SFK) is the umbrella organisation of Sambodh in Kerala, registered as a Trust. Its home is the Sambodh Kerala centre at Kollam, an ashram overseeing the backwaters. From here it coordinates spiritual, charity and cultural programmes in cities and villages across Kerala, for young and old, students and children.

Swami Adhyatmananda is the Mukhya Acharya, and SFK is guided by the vision and teachings of Paramacharya Swami Bodhananda. The Trust was inaugurated on 8 April 2012 at Bodhananda Kendram, Thiruvananthapuram.
