Dear Investors in the Siddhartha School and Its Partnership,
It’s November…our gratitude abounds because of you!
Our community stepped up to meet a challenge:
Match the gift of $42,000 that an anonymous donor pledged to the Siddhartha School Partnership (SSP). You were very generous, and we thank you!
With this gift, SSP needs to raise a remaining $33,000 to meet its operational budget for 2026.
With GivingTuesday less than a month away, we have set a goal to raise by year’s end this $33,000 for SSP’s budget, but also $205,500 for the school’s 2027/2028 budget.
Each October, the Siddhartha School’s Ladakhi board shares with SSP its projected operational budget for their upcoming school year. The amount of $205,500 reflects the school’s required budget for operational costs, including teacher and staff salaries, hostel fees, teacher trainings, and the Social and Emotional Learning Program.
During GivingTuesday, we will work to raise as much of these funds as possible. We encourage you to be on the lookout for upcoming communications about GivingTuesday. We ask that you consider helping on that effort as well as sharing our videos with your friends and family.
Save the Date for Your Giving!
This year, our theme is “What You’ve Built.” We’ll look back at important moments in the school’s history and the impact of your giving.
Starting on November 28 and extending through December 1 (GivingTuesday), we will share with you, our committed supporters, four historical videos of what we’ve accomplished together.
This year’s videos provide a precious reminder of what you’ve helped build. These stories are a testament to your dedication to SSP’s mission and the generosity of your abiding contributions of time, talent, and treasure.
While the leadership of the Siddhartha School Partnership and the school have changed over these 30 years, our collective and immutable commitment to the mission—providing the youth of Ladakh, India, with a modern, foundational education that recognizes the importance of their cultural heritage—has never wavered.
We send you our abiding thanksgiving,
Board of Directors
Siddhartha School Partnership-USA
