US 501(c)(3) · Tax-Deductible Giving

Give to West Bengal,
with confidence.

Tax-deductible US donations, directed to development projects we've vetted closely — across education, healthcare, and livelihoods.

Giving back home shouldn't require a leap of faith.

Most of us want to give back home — but it's hard to know which organizations are credible, where the money goes, or whether it changed anything.

Nagarik Samaj USA exists to solve that. We research projects ourselves, apply a published five-point standard, and report honestly on what your gift accomplished. You give in the US. We ensure it reaches work that's already making a difference.

Four things we never compromise on

🎯

Selective opportunities

We fund a small number of projects — only after each clears our five-point standard. No scatter-shot grantmaking.

💡

Clear use of funds

Every dollar has a defined use. We never fund proposals. We fund real work on the ground, with a specific purpose and a defined before-and-after.

⚖️

Thoughtful allocation

We weigh projects against each other, not in isolation. Capital must solve a real bottleneck — more funding, more outcomes.

📋

Honest updates

We report what the money did, and what we're learning. Not just what went well — what we'd do differently.

UHHS is a new university building at the intersection of health sciences, AI, and social science. The School of Computing, AI & Data Science is designed to keep technology in service of people — developing AI for resource-constrained healthcare settings, with an emphasis on human-centered, ethical design.

Built on fifteen years of work by Liver Foundation, West Bengal, which reports reaching over a million people. The foundation recently secured a $7.5M grant from the John C. Martin Foundation in the US.

Support this project

Every project clears
five questions before we fund it.

Is it already happening? Do we trust the people? Is the use of funds specific? Will the money move the needle? Is it the right fit?
