Transparency

Everything a reasonable person would want to verify about this foundation, in one place, with the document each claim comes from named alongside it.

None of this is a courtesy. A nonprofit that asks to be believed and then makes the checking difficult has already told you something.

How the foundation is funded


As of August 2026, Sevadar Foundation has been funded entirely by its founder. It runs no fundraising campaign, employs no fundraisers and pays no one a commission on a gift.

That fact is dated on purpose. It is true as written in August 2026 and it is the kind of fact that changes. If it changes, this page changes with it. The funding picture in full →
