DONATE TO AVI USA
AVI USA works to develop and sustain more than 80 partner projects.
Over the past four years we have sent close to $5.0 million to Auroville and Auroville inspired projects to help them grow and thrive.
Our work connects and ensures that our partner projects, most rooted in Auroville, a growing number beyond it – can accept international donations and connect with growing numbers of international supporters.
AVI USA works to connects donors to vetted projects, provides in depth reporting, and responsibly manages a a growing international fiscal support network.
Give where it’s most needed and you fund that work directly. Give to a named project and 10% does the same.
WAYS TO GIVE
Card gifts are the simplest. But a bank transfer that skips the processing fee, or a gift of appreciated stock, can be worth meaningfully more to the work — at no extra cost to you.
NO-FEE GIVING
Card payments lose 5–8% to banking and transaction fees. A domestic bank transfer avoids that entirely, so the full amount reaches the work.
