Raising Human Consciousness
Guided by Sadhguru, Isha Foundation is dedicated to raising human consciousness, and fosters global harmony through individual transformation.
Create a more vibrant, inclusive and conscious world and offer at least one drop of spirituality to every human being on the planet.
Contribute towards the sacred offering of food to thousands of sanyasis, brahmacharis, residents, and volunteers at Isha Yoga Center.
Isha School at Isha Institute of Inner-sciences (III) comes as a unique and much anticipated offering from Sadhguru. Envisioned as a space for children to grow and blossom to their full potential, it will support the holistic development of the child, while nurturing the innate urge within every child to learn and to know.
Your tax-deductible offering will be used to support the Adiyogi: Abode of Yoga, making it available to all.
Rural Revitalization
Isha FPOs project brings together small and marginal farmers into Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), and provides technical, financial, and marketing assistance which lowers input costs, enhances produce sales realisation, thus bringing profitability, sustainability, and dignity to the farmer.
“If we want to ensure food security, farming has to be lucrative. Farmer producer organizations will bring the power of scale to the farmer. The way forward.” —Sadhguru

Environment
"Cauvery has been the source of wellbeing, prosperity and the very source of life for these lands. A forest-fed perennial river is fast becoming a seasonal stream as 87% of tree cover has been removed in 50 years. Cauvery is calling, do you have a heart to hear?" -Sadhguru

Planned Gifts
Often donors don’t realize all the benefits that planned giving can bring to an individual and the charity that they support. You can leave a legacy behind by ensuring that Isha’s life transforming work continues beyond your lifetime.
Planned giving involves providing for a future gift to charities through your financial and estate plans while gaining from several tax benefits.
There are several ways to make your planned gifts. Some of the options include contribution through your will, charitable trust, insurance policy, or retirement plan. You should always consult your financial, tax and legal professional for guidance on your individual financial situation before making such contribution.
Charitable Bequests
A charitable bequest is a gift of property or a sum of money given through your will. Charitable gifts made through your will are 100 percent deductible for estate tax purposes. Bequests may be written as a percentage, residual, or specific monetary amount.
Life Insurance
Gifts of life insurance are an excellent way to support Isha. You may name Isha as the owner and beneficiary of an existing life insurance policy that may no longer be needed for its intended purpose. You can take an immediate federal tax deduction for the approximate cash value of the donated policy. Isha will immediately begin to receive the dividends from the policy and will ultimately receive the insurance proceeds as well.
Retirement Plan
You may name Isha as beneficiary of all, or a portion of, your retirement account assets such as your IRA, 401(k), 403(b), Keogh, or other qualified plan.
