Support a Partner By earmarking your donation for one of our Partners, you can directly help that organization accomplish anything from paying teacher salaries to distributing water filters or building a new library. Browse our database of Partners to find a cause that inspires you. When a donation is earmarked for one of our Partners, that Partner receives the full donation less possible bank transfer fees. Omprakash does not charge any administrative fees for processing donations. Support a Volunteer We do not allow donors to earmark donations to support individual volunteers. However, we welcome donors to earmark for a Partner of their choice, and to include a note requesting that funds be used to support costs associated with that Partner’s hosting of a specific volunteer. The Partner can honor this note at its own discretion. Support Our Grant Programs Our competitive Volunteer Grant program helps defray travel and living expenses for Volunteers who commit themselves to making a long-term contribution to our network and our educational mission. Our Seed Grant program enables the enrichment of academic curricula and service-learning programs by creating global connections via the Omprakash network. By supporting either of these programs, you help us connect our Partners with more individuals and communities that can learn from and support their efforts.
Omprakash would be nothing without the generosity of its many donors. Thank you! We send receipts to all donors. If you have a question about your receipt, please email ellen@omprakash.org.
Gratitude
“In 2008 I embarked on what would be the experience of a lifetime, volunteering in India and Tanzania. The global reach of the Omprakash network allowed me to connect with schools all over the world, right from my home in Connecticut. Being part of this global exchange has been one of the joys of my life.” -Trip Cowin, Volunteer
“The after school centre is running very well with classes in music, dance and sport, and as soon as we get more funding we will grow it. There is such a need to get more and more children off the streets and into our programmes so your support is so greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for everything and for helping to make a difference where it is so badly needed.”
-Kevin Chaplin, Director of Amy Biehl Foundation, Omprakash Partner- Cape Town, South Africa
