We're looking for 40 people to give $5,000 each this year.
$5,000 one-time | $417/month for 12 months
For generations, Sikhs have practiced dasvandh, giving a tenth of what we earn back to the community. It's one of the most beautiful parts of our tradition, and it rests on trust: when you give, your gift should go toward the people and causes it was meant for.
In 2012, Dasvandh Network was built on that trust. We created a place where Sikhs could give to vetted organizations doing work aligned with Sikh values, and we made a decision that set us apart: zero platform fees. Not for donors, not for partners, not ever.
Today, that commitment moves $2.5 to 3.5 million every year to more than 100 nonprofit partners, from civil rights defense to education, seva, and humanitarian relief.
But zero platform fees doesn't mean zero cost.
Behind every gift is work most donors never see. Accountants and auditors keep our books clean and our 501(c)(3) status strong. State registrations let Sikhs across the country give legally. The platform has to be secure, receipts have to go out, and questions have to be answered. A small team makes all of it happen.
Most giving platforms cover these costs by taking a share of every donation. We chose a different path. We're asking a small group of people to carry them, so the rest of the community never has to.
That's where you come in.
Your gift covers the operational costs that make zero platform fees possible.
You won't be supporting one cause. You'll be keeping the whole platform running for all of them.
Be one of the 40.
About Dasvandh Network
Our Overview
Dasvandh Network (DVN) is a community-powered giving platform where donors and organizations come together in the spirit of Dasvandh, sharing a portion of one’s earnings for the betterment of society.
We support 80+ well-vetted Sikh-led nonprofits and grassroots community projects, helping them reach new donors, run successful fundraising campaigns, and receive trusted, secure contributions through our platform.
At DVN, we work diligently to ensure donations are used responsibly, transparently, and in service of high-impact, community-driven work.
Our Goal
Our goal is simple: strengthen Sikh generosity and uplift the organizations doing vital work in our communities.
Many impactful programs struggle not because of vision, but because of limited and inconsistent funding. DVN exists to change that.
Through our grassroots platform, year-round giving campaigns, and collaborative partnerships, we work to create a thriving donation ecosystem, one that empowers Sikh-led nonprofits to grow, serve, and innovate.
