OUR RECENT IMPACT

Dasvandh Network aims to be a donor’s “portfolio of giving,” rooted in transparency and to inspire giving across numerous social causes. Ranging from funding the education of a child to raising money for oxygenators during worldwide crisis to furthering social justice causes, your dasvandh makes an impact in our community. Our impact is growing:

HOW THE MATCH FUND IS USED + ITS IMPACT

Historically, DVN has used match funds only during DasvandhWeek, our annual 10 days of giving. The match fund allows us to match 1:1 a donor’s donation on our platform during our matching campaigns. The match fund in particular is now used throughout the year with strategic campaigns with our partner organizations and during our annual fundraising week, DasvandhWeek every November.

In the last year and a half, we’ve expanded using the match fund to strategic campaigns throughout the year. As a result, we’ve raised more than than $500K for causes like: 

• Fundraising for food for thousands of families when the pandemic hit 
• 400+ oxygenators for India to help save lives 
• Expand capacity to provide more support for domestic violence within our community
• Fund the education of children in underserved and rural communities in India

We use our match fund throughout the year to amplify the impact to the organizations and projects we serve. Our platform becomes a tool for our partner organizations or projects to be introduced to thousands of donors likely interested in their causes, attracting donors with a way to double their impact. We aim to be the hub of online giving with our DVN platform and the matching incentive has played an instrumental role in the growth we are experiencing.  

DASVANDHWEEK 2021 GOALS + YOUR HELP 

This year we have set our sights high to AMPLIFY OUR IMPACT to the next level. We aim to have $500,000 in pledged donations in the 10 days of DasvandhWeek 2021. This would have an astounding impact for Sikh activists as well as the larger Sikh community as a whole. To do that, we estimate that we need to secure our largest match fund yet. Can we count on your support to help us catalyze fundraising efforts for our Sikh activists and their causes? 

Despite all the ways in which we have been challenged this year, we are humbled by how much the community has come together to support one another, our activists, and our sangat at large. Thank you for your continued support!
