Your presence at our wedding is truly the best gift that we could ask for. Please do not feel obligated to give us another gift.
But if you do feel compelled to make an additional act of generosity, we've listed below two educational charities which have meaning for us that we hope you might also choose to also support. Both are doing excellent work by filling an essential need in their respective communities in New York and Bangalore.
If you contribute using the buttons above, you will receive a confirmation email from the 501(c)(3) registered E.S.P. Das Educational Foundation. "DAS EDU FOUND" will appear on your credit card statement. We will make sure that your contribution gets to the right place.
SAYA! (Queens, NY)
South Asian Youth Action (SAYA) is a youth development organization dedicated to K-12 students in need of support in New York City. While South Asian-focused, SAYA is secular, inclusive and committed to connecting youth from all backgrounds to opportunities. Established in 1996, SAYA provides youth an accessible, safe, and culturally affirming space for year-round programming that takes place during the school day, after school, on weekends and during the summer.
The SAYA experience offers mentorship beyond the classroom so students confidently grow into engaged community leaders ready for college, career and personal success.
