Overview

Mission

Preaching and professing the sikh religion

What it reported doing in 2025

The society is a charitable organization with the sole purpose of preaching and professing of the sikh religion. Everyone is welcome to attend and participate in the religious functions of the society. No one will be excluded on the basis of race, color, sex, age or religion

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
