“A person who was very remote when it came to giving or sharing, who always felt insecure & fearful, has somehow become much more compassionate. I can 100% say that I have become a much more compassionate person. I don't know how I became like this; it's definitely not my doing. Because of his grace, I become a 7% partner and only because of that, I am able to continue.”
“Life started changing almost immediately after I became an Ishanga 7% Partner in 2012. I became aware of this unseen Presence, which was enabling me at every step, putting me in the right place at the right time. It's humbling to know that it is Grace that makes things happen and one just has a small role to play. It's now abundantly clear to me that all that I tread on is just Him.”
“It has been a tremendous opportunity for me to bring this form in my life and experience the grace and blessings of Sadhguru. I feel there is a protective layer around me all the time, someone constantly watching over me. The contribution I make is insignificant in front of this feeling. I am extremely grateful for this partnership.”

FAQ
Anyone who wishes to have Sadhguru’s grace as a support for their life’s endeavors can be an Ishanga 7%, namely, salaried employees, professionals or business owners.
There is no obligation for you to contribute if you go through a period without any income. When the income resumes, your contribution can resume.
Donations to Isha Foundation Inc. are tax deductible under section 501(c)(3) of IRS for US taxpayers.
Due to the nature and sanctity of this commitment, there is no prescribed way to calculate the 7%. However, here are some general guidelines:
It can be based either on gross or net income, pre or post tax; revenue or profits.
If you have a business and salaried income (or other sources of income), you can include all your income in calculating 7% contributions. For example, you can make a yearly contribution for your business income and periodic contributions for your salary income.
If you and your spouse are both earning and willing to contribute, you can either register for Ishanga 7% as two separate contributors (hence, two separate IDs) or include the joint income in calculating the 7%. This may also depend on how you prefer to file taxes, jointly or separately. Alternatively, if your partner is not yet ready to join the program, you can make the contributions based on your income alone.
Employer matching donations are a great way to contribute to Isha. However, given the nature of the Ishanga 7% commitment, your contributions should come from your income. Employer’s matching donations can be an addition to your 7% contribution. You may look up your employer here (scroll to the middle of the page).
You can choose your donation frequency, as it will vary based on individual situations. Donations can be spread throughout the year. You can make your contribution either at regular intervals (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually) or multiple one-off payments subject to your income. Typically, salaried people may prefer to contribute monthly while someone running their own business may prefer to contribute at the end of the year when the books are closed.
The payment methods include online credit card and bank account withdrawal (ACH). Both have recurrent options available. We recommend using bank withdrawal (ACH) donations through bank accounts as it avoids service fees and maximizes your donation. Once you submit your Ishanga 7% application, you can donate using the link on https://isha.sadhguru.org/ishanga7. While we encourage making your contributions online on the website, if you need to send checks or money orders, please contact us at donate@ishausa.org.
If you wish to avail tax savings for the current year, please mail a check dated within December of this year.
If setting up bank withdrawal, please do so online at the Ishanga 7% donation web page.
If you are residing in Canada, you can contribute via Paypal from our site and it would be converted to US dollars or you can send a check.
Usually, monthly donations are deducted on the 15th of each month.
