Celebrate Ganeshotsav With a Cause!
— A Shivmudra Global Foundation Initiative —
This Ganesh Utsav, let’s spread joy beyond our homes by turning tradition into transformation. Join fellow devotees across the community as we celebrate Ganpati Bappa and raise funds for powerful causes. Under this initiative, you will be joining families across the community to raise funds for two inspiring organizations:

Snehwan – providing education to underprivileged children
Deepstambh – empowering rural and specially-abled youth

🙏 When you have guests at your home for Ganapati Darshan, you invite them to contribute a small donation instead of bringing sweets or prasad. Even $10 or $20 can go a long way!
Your guest can donate using a jar or QR code available at your home.
Let’s turn our devotion into action and make Ganesh Utsav more meaningful together.
🙏 How You Can Participate:
✅ Step 1: Fill in the Participation Form:
Pledge the amount you hope to collect during your home Ganapati celebration.
📄 Submit Participation Form
✅ Step 2: Celebrate & Share
Invite friends and family for Ganapati Darshan.
Instead of bringing sweets or prasad, ask them to donate a small amount to support a social cause.
🎥 Optional: Share a short video of your home Ganapati with Shivmudra — we’ll compile a beautiful montage celebrating all participating homes!
✅ Step 3: Collect Donations
Use a donation jar, QR code, or online method to gather contributions. Even $10 or $20 from each guest can make a huge impact.
✅ **Step 4: Join Our Virtual Donation & Impact Event 🖥
After Ganesh Chaturthi, we’ll host a virtual event with representatives from the supported nonprofits — including:

Snehwan (Education for underprivileged children)
Deepstambh (Youth leadership & empowerment for rural and specially-abled youth)

🎤 Hear directly from the change-makers.
🎁 Collective donations will be presented during this event in the name of all participating families.
✅ Step 5: Donate Through Shivmudra
Submit your collected amount to Shivmudra. We will consolidate and transfer the donations to our partner organizations, with complete transparency and receipts shared.
🌼 Why This Matters:
Ganapati Bappa teaches us wisdom and compassion. Let’s celebrate by spreading both — through culture and community action.
🕉 Ganpati Bappa Morya!
