Overview
Mission
Promote traditions based on Vedic principles of peace and harmony among all people; foster Vedic values among children and youth and raise awareness of India’s spiritual and cultural heritage. We need the help of the community to generously donate for this cause of realizing a permanent home for the Vedic Cultural and Spiritual center . There are several programs such as car donation, pillar program, cash gifts are available for this purpose. Since this is a public benefit corporation, the donations are tax deductible. For example, gold pillar program requires a pledge of at least $10,000. it can be donated in $2,000 installments over 5 years. People who are in 30% (federal) and 10% (state) can save 40% resulting out of pocket expenses of $100 per month. (foot note: this is a hypothetical example. you should consult you tax advisor for the correct amount). Companies in some cases.
What it reported doing in 2025
Utilized the shiva vishnu temple for spirutual and religious activities, as well as performed individual pooja requests
Operating model

- Donor-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
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 total spending goes to programs.
