Awards and Recognition
Sneha Karma Foundation believes recognition is not a reward we chase but a trust others place in work done well. We have been a proud member of the GuideStar database, the world’s largest source of information about nonprofit organizations, since 2015. In January 2017, GuideStar recognized our commitment to openness by naming us a Platinum Select Non-Profit Organization. For us, that honor is a promise to our donors and partners: we will keep operating with the transparency that earned it. Below, we share the story behind this recognition and answer common questions about awards and recognition at Sneha Karma Foundation.
