Giving That Makes a Difference

Verified Impact: Transparent reporting demonstrates exactly how funds are used.

Pakistani Institution: Supporting a world-class Pakistani institution that models excellence.

Direct Connection: PASOR's direct relationship ensures efficient fund transfer.

Strategic Fundraising Approach

PASOR maximizes fundraising effectiveness:

Annual Events: Our signature fundraiser creates a focal point for community giving.

Consistent Messaging: Year-round awareness keeps the cause visible.

Multiple Channels: Opportunities to give through events, direct donations, and zakat.

Matching Opportunities: Connecting with corporate matching programs.

Legacy Giving: Encouraging inclusion in estate planning.

Beyond the Dollar Amount

Effective fundraising considers more than totals:

Donor Experience: Creating meaningful giving experiences that build long-term support.

Community Education: Helping donors understand the impact of their gifts.

Relationship Building: Developing ongoing connections rather than transactional giving.

Accountability: Transparent reporting that maintains trust.

How Funds Are Used

Understanding allocation builds confidence:

Patient Care: Direct treatment costs for chemotherapy, surgery, radiation.

Diagnostics: Testing and imaging for accurate diagnosis.

Facilities: Equipment and infrastructure supporting care.

Research: Studies to improve treatment for South Asian populations.

Your Role in Fundraising

Every community member can contribute:

Attend Events: Your presence and donation matter.

Corporate Matching: Check if your employer matches gifts.

Monthly Giving: Small regular amounts add up.

Zakat Designation: Many direct religious charity to this cause.

Spread Word: Invite others to participate.

The Spiritual Dimension

For many in our community, charitable giving is a religious obligation and spiritual practice. Sadaqah (voluntary charity) and zakat (obligatory giving) directed to cancer patients earns both earthly impact and spiritual reward.

Looking Forward

PASOR continues to refine our fundraising:

Increased Reach: Expanding participation each year.

Enhanced Engagement: Creating more meaningful donor experiences.

Impact Reporting: Sharing specific outcomes from Rochester's giving.
