South Asian Americans Leading Together

PUBLISHED JULY 2007. In October 2006, SAALT embarked on a project supported by the Citi Foundation to assess the scope of services offered by and infrastructural challenges faced by organizations serving low- to moderate- income South Asians. The initiative seeks to:

• Increase the level of information that exists regarding community-based organizations serving South Asians;

• Identify areas for increasing capacity and resources to benefit community-based organizations; and

• Develop and present recommendations as a starting point for action and dialogue

This report seeks to synthesize the results of a needs assessment while highlighting best practices and recommendations for stakeholders to better assist South Asian organizations — and by extension — the South Asian communities served by our groups.
