Overview

Mission

Saath celebrates cultural diversity and social harmony in the community through the joyful medium of dance, performing arts, and related south asian cultural traditions.

What it reported doing in 2025

Created a South Asian Dance Drama - 2 Suitcases with a cast of more than 75 performers touching on the topic of domestic violence in the South Asian community. This was attended by over 1300 community members. We also partnered with local organizations that provide resources for abuse victims and we had post show discussions.

Operating model

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
