Executive Director

The Dasvandh Network was founded in early 2010 to ignite the level of giving by providing access, transparency, trust, and awareness to Sikh and related charitable projects across North America. Sikhism is the world’s fifth largest religion. More information about the religion can be found here: http://sikhcoalition.org/SikhismGlance.asp. Dasvandh Network has two primary goals:

1. To inspire a new level of giving within the Community

2. To support Sikh and related initiatives through consistent funding

To achieve this goal, the Dasvandh Network team has built a new online giving platform where Sikhs and Sikhi-related projects can actively participate in the spirit of Dasvandh (giving back to the community).

We assist Sikh organizations and community projects find new donors through web-based fundraising: communication/discussion pages, social media tools, and donation processing. In addition to financial support, we offer strategic and operational advisory services.
