Guest Speaker, Sonal Shah, speech at Fundraise Event in Detroit in 2004Ventured into rural development activities with modest and limited resources. Our success is undoubtedly due to the pioneering efforts of volunteers and other local organizations that are endlessly working to ensure educational objectives for impoverished children are effectively met. In order to continue this work, however, we rely upon contributions from foundations and private donors. Your donations will impact the lives of many children who lack the basic necessities to combat poverty.

We value your donations and believe in efficiency and transparency. Ninety six cents of every dollar donated goes directly to the operations we support. We are extremely lean in our operations and the cost to take care of one child is $ 300/yr including food, health care, uniforms, shelter and educational supplements. Please find more details about SUPPORT A CHILD program at click here.

As you might know SPREAD INTERNATIONAL is a tax exempt Non-Profit Organization (Tax ID 80-0084590) under section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code. Please do consider making a contribution to a specific project or child. All donations are 100% tax deductible.

In February we will mail out a statement of your contribution that you may use as documentation to deduct for taxes. Please take a moment to review our organization.
