DONATIONS
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major health concern for the South Asian community in Canada, and it is a challenge that requires the support of everyone in the community. SANSAR is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of South Asians and relies on the generosity of donors to achieve its mission. If you're looking for a way to make a positive impact in your community, consider donating to SANSAR and help mitigate the risk of CVD in the South Asian community.

All donations can be made via online payment portal on the website, or by cheque in the name of SANSAR Foundation.

Levels of donations:
There are four levels of donations and donor recognition offered in sansar:
One-off donations.
One may donate to SANSAR once; or give the same amount several times throughout the year. There is no planned recurring schedule or written expectation of when and how the donation will be made.
Periodic donations.
Recurring or periodic donation is when you chose to make regular, ongoing donations to SANSAR. These consistent gifts, known as recurring donations, will help our long-term fundraising success and retention goals.
Project-specific donations.
These donations are often tied to a specific project or initiative of SANSAR, or perhaps a special subcategory within our services that is close to your heart. Whatever the reasoning behind it, it means that that money will only be used for that specific purpose, in respect of which our donor has specified restrictions or conditions limiting the way in which the funds can be spent.

The Donor Wall displays the names of our donors at their highest level of giving and are updated annually. Requests for anonymity will be respected.
