    Please note that we are an all-volunteer organization, with our team members balancing daytime jobs to keep our overhead costs at zero. This ensures that 100% of your annual sponsorship goes directly towards maintaining the Chinmaya Haridwar building and its programs. Since tracking annual sponsorships requires considerable time, we would greatly appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Closing it quickly will allow our volunteers to continue serving Chinmaya Mission Portland in the best possible way.

    As a sponsor, you already know that our organization is entirely volunteer-driven. The success of our programs depends on the dedication and support of enthusiastic sponsors like you, who share and work towards our vision and mission. To ensure everything continues to run smoothly, we encourage active participation in the coordination and daily administration of our center.

    Following the guidance and direction from Chinmaya Mission West, the governing body of Chinmaya Mission Portland, we kindly request that, as part of your annual sponsorship, you commit to 30 hours of volunteer time during the academic year. You can choose an area that best aligns with your skills and interests, and we will follow up with you to coordinate further.
