The Legacy fund is an endowment fund that provides an opportunity for donors to leave behind a legacy of student support for perpetuity. The exponential impact of this support is immeasurable as it not only honours the memory and passion of a dear one but also touches multiple ministries formed in SAIACS for generations to come.

A donor can institute a Legacy Fund in their own name or in the name of a family member or friend if they contribute a minimum of Rs 1,00,000/- in a calendar year. This can also be paid in instalments. One can add on to the corpus amount in subsequent years. The corpus amount will not be liquidated. Only the interest accrued will be utilised toward support for a scholarship/fees for a deserving student. If the donor wishes to remain anonymous, they can contribute any amount to the General Legacy Fund.

(Rs 1,00,000/-  in a calendar year for specific Legacy Fund or any amount to General Legacy Fund)

Partners can support students who are unable to pay their fees due to unforeseen circumstances. Most of our students are self-supporting, so when there is illness, death, or financial crisis in their families or with their supporters they often are not able to keep their financial commitment. You can assist by contributing a portion of their fees.

As part of its efforts to engage the Christian community, SAIACS ministers in various churches by leading praise and worship, bringing God’s Word, and sharing testimonies. This provides an opportunity for congregations to become aware of the ministry of SAIACS, and also helps our students to interact with local churches and build relationships. You can further these efforts by inviting the SAIACS team to minister in your church.
