Swami Vivekananda Youth Movement-Donate

While the commitment and spirit of SVYM remains undiminished by time or changing circumstances, they cannot continue as they hope to without funding. The need for new facilities is growing and money is desperately required to meet these needs. To date, funding has come from both caring individuals as well as public and private agencies. While their generosity and assistance have been invaluable, their continued support cannot be taken for granted. Contributions from most agencies are bound by term-limits. So, much of SVYM's funding will expire in the near future.

Anything you can give will make a tremendous difference. It could be monetary contribution – you could specify where it has to be used or leave it to SVYM to disburse, based on priority and need. It could be in kind, through a product or service you can offer. We would be grateful for any personal involvement from you for helping us out.
