A non-profit, the South Asian Heart Center will always rely on donor support to sustain its operations so we can maximize the number of South Asians we serve. We plan to increase the sustainability of donor support by encouraging past donors and new participants to contribute on a yearly basis through an e-newsletter and regular direct mail appeals. We are also inaugurating a Pay it Forward program that honors our donors while reminding participants that their screenings were underwritten through the generosity of others, and asking them to reciprocate by making their own gift to ensure more people can benefit.
