Community Support

Donation guidance for safe, direct, community-first support.

How to give or ask for support through the Sangam, step by step.

Core Principles

How this donation flow should be used

  1. Prefer direct, traceable support between donor and seeker whenever possible.
  2. Be specific about the purpose so the community can respond quickly and responsibly.
  3. Use member search for local coordination before escalating wider across the network.
  4. Do not treat the website as a payment gateway; it is a discovery and coordination platform.
For Donors
  • Confirm the request details before transferring funds or material support.
  • Use the seeker directory to compare recent requests and avoid fragmented conversations.
  • If you want to stay local, search by city and connect through known member groups first.
For Seekers
  • Describe the urgency, amount, and purpose in clear everyday language.
  • Attach supporting documents only when they help donors understand the need.
  • Keep phone and email reachable so follow-up does not stall.
