The Dasvandh Network is an online giving platform where donors and organizations
can actively participate in the spirit of Dasvandh, or share part of one’s
earnings towards the betterment of society. We assist organizations and
grass-roots community projects in finding new donors through web-based
fundraising and communication pages, social media tools, and donation
processing. In addition, we utilize many offline methods to promote these
projects, including conferences, Gurdwara visits, etc. The Dasvandh Network is
a non-religious entity (as evident in our by-laws). The organization is focused
on furthering humanity as a whole—a concept that is fundamental to Sikhism.
We provide an opportunity for donors to discover inspiring project ideas and
give to various organizations. DVN makes every effort to ensure that your funds
are used efficiently and responsibly.
The goal of the Dasvandh Network is to bring Sikh and community giving to the
next level. The progress of our community remains stunted due to the lack of
consistent funds available to both established organizations and community
projects. We must reignite the spirit of Dasvandh and promote humanitarian
ideals by supporting innovative projects & organizations.
Mission
To inspire an increase in the level of giving to organizations and charitable
projects across North America by providing transparency, trust, access, and
awareness of Panthic-related efforts.
Vision
We have seen how small contributions toward the appropriate organization can
lead to significant change; however, such contributions are still a rare
occurrence. Through proper funding and management, we hope to realize the many
visions the community has– to dedicate an abundance of resources toward
advocacy, education, and public relations initiatives.
Why?
Today, at least $0.20 of every dollar raised (20%) by non-profit organizations
goes towards fundraising expenses, reaching as high as 50% for some events, such
as banquets and galas. We aim to streamline fundraising for organizations and
project groups to make this effort much more cost-efficient for the community
overall. We also strive to make fundraising more accessible for projects, so
organizers can focus on delivering valuable services and programs.
