Karma Projects
United We Om believes that selfless service without attachment to the outcome creates deep, powerful and lasting change for both the individual and the collective.
Karma yoga can present itself in many forms and our Karma Project grants support and amplify the good works of inspiring humans who are dedicated to creating change in their community and humanity.
Our grant process is accessible, approachable and most of all human. We offer multiple ways to apply and guidance throughout the process, so that everyone can have the opportunity to access the support the need.
We’re proud that the majority of our grant recipients have never received a grant prior to United We Om.
