Overview

Mission

Sikh family center is a nonprofit organization in the u.s. That promotes community well-being with a particular focus on gender justice. We provide trauma-centered resources for victim-survivors of violence while organizing to change the social and cultural conditions that allow gendered violence to occur in the first place. Our training, outreach, and advocacy are grounded in cultural tradition, grassroots power, and intergenerational healing.

What it reported doing in 2025

We consistently delivered our unique services to survivors of trauma and the broader sikh community, fostering connection, strength, and health to combat deeply rooted internal issues. We also conducted essential research, delving into gender organizational models, funding sources, and leadership crises within sikh organizations, providing vital insights for future work. Furthermore, we achieved unprecedented representation by being invited as presenters, trainers, and partners in state and national forums, where sikhs had previously lacked independent voices. This allowed us to bring critical perspectives and solutions to a wider audience.

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

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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
