Pashchimi

Overview

Mission

Raise funds to provide urgent economic assistance to families during sudden medical emergencies, promote Indian culture and heritage in the West, and raise funds to provide educational support for meritorious children from low-income families in India. We Need Your Support A modest initiative started by a small bunch of people with their own contribution has grown to a full-fledged movement today. In order for Pashchimi to succeed in its mission, it needs continuous financial support. Pashchimi has been fortunate to receive funding from recognized brands and local businesses that want to reach out to the Indian community and from generous donations from our well-wishers. Many of the corporate sponsors have been regular contributors to the Pashchimi cause.

Operating model

Revenue model

Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.

Distribution model

Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 78% for direct work, 2% for grants, and 20% for member benefits.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
