How we give, together

  • Join Sau-Squared.

    Join like-minded people from across the country to contribute a sizeable grant to an organization focusing on impact on India.

    In order to join this giving circle, you pledge to give $100, tax-deductible, to the selected organization on the night of the voting event.

  • Meet and learn about organizations doing good work.

    At each event, whether you join in person or online, we will learn about three organizations making an impact in India.

    Each organization - chosen to present via a lottery system - will give a presentation about its team, its impact and how it can achieve its goals with a gift of $10,000 from SAU SQUARED giving circle members.

  • Vote. Give.

    After each organization has presented, we will take a simple vote to decide that night’s grantee and make a $10k contribution to support that organization’s mission. (The two organizations that do not receive the most votes for the grant will be invited to participate again in future events.)

    We will send around a link for you to contribute your pledge directly to the organization. (Of course, you’re welcome to give more than $100 - be as generous as you’d like and are able!)

    Through collective giving, and only one to two hours of your time, your pledged $100 will lead to this meaningful, impactful $10k gift!

Things to note

You pledge to give $100 - regardless of your attendance (live or in person) at the event. As long as we have a quorum, we will vote and make our collective commitment.

You pledge to give $100 to the selected organization - even if the organization for which you voted does not receive the most votes.

You are welcome to give to any organization - on top of your $100 pledge - any and all generosity is appreciated.
