Dasvandh — the tenth part — is one of the oldest traditions in the Sikh way of life: the practice of setting aside a share of what we earn for the good of others. Dasvandh Week is the one week each year when we give it together, as one sangat, and watch what our collective giving can build.
Why we rise together
No single gift changes everything — but thousands of gifts, pooled with intention, move mountains. During Dasvandh Week, every dollar you give is directed to well-vetted, high-impact projects across our community, so your generosity reaches the front lines of change.
Where your Dasvandh goes
Give to a cause that speaks to you, or let us build your “Portfolio of Giving” across the categories that matter most:
- Humanitarian Aid — relief for families in crisis
- Education & Youth Development — investing in the next generation
- Advocacy & Social Justice — standing up for sarbat da bhalla
- Arts, Culture, Innovation & Environment — building Begumpura in the world
This is how we rise together: one week, one community, 100+ causes, and a tradition of giving that has carried us for centuries. Give your Dasvandh this week.
