Sphere of Gratitude

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world"- Nelson Mandela

What we do

The basis of our organization lies in benefiting both the community that we live in and the communities that we help. We raise money multiple ways but our main method is through tutoring. We tutor kids in our local area and donate the funds that we earn from those classes. That way, the money that we earn has an impact that is two-fold compared to simply collecting donations. Additionally, for those who wish to donate without our tutoring services, we give the option to donate to sponsor a tutoring class for underprivileged kids in our local area, once again, taking the money that is donated a step farther than usual.

Our main goal is to raise money for various global causes. To accomplish this, we plan to fundraise in the three following methods:

1. Tutoring
2. Performances
3. Fundraising events

Current Projects

COVID-19 Relief for Affected Parties - Houston, USA and India

In the current instability that surrounds us today, Sphere of Gratitude is working to communicate with those who are affected by COVID-19 such as infected patients and families who have lost their source of income to support them financially. We have set aside $1,000 for this initiative and will be rolling out plans for how we can help these people as soon as possible. We will also be purchasing materials to manufacture masks to donate. Stay tuned for updates and we encourage you to support our cause. To donate and support our efforts, please navigate to the bottom of this page.
