Punjabi charities
People doing the work, on both sides of the border and across the diaspora. Punjab is two provinces in two countries, and its people are Sikh, Muslim, Hindu and Christian — this list tries to look like that. Every listing here is free. None of it is advertising, and nobody has paid to appear.
Are you a charity? Get listed, free
If your organisation serves Punjab or Punjabi communities anywhere in the world, we'll list you here for nothing — no fee now, no fee later, and no catch. We read every request personally and check it against the same values policy we apply to paying sponsors. Faith-based and secular organisations are equally welcome, from either Punjab or anywhere the diaspora reached.
Why this page exists
This site is paid for by its readers and by a small number of sponsors, and there are exactly twenty sponsor slots. None of them are on this page, and nothing in the directory above counts against them. Charities are listed because they should be, not because they bought space — and the links carry no advertising markup, because calling a free recommendation an advert would be untrue.
Punjab is not one place. The 1947 border put roughly two-thirds of historic Punjab in Pakistan and a third in India, and the language carried on regardless — written in Shahmukhi on one side and Gurmukhi on the other. A directory of Punjabi charities that only covered Indian Punjab, or only Sikh organisations, would be describing a smaller Punjab than the real one. If you know of an organisation missing from this list, especially a Muslim, Hindu or Christian one from either side of the border, please send it to us.
If you'd rather give to this site than through it, the donate page explains where that money goes. If you run a business rather than a charity, sponsorship is the other door.
