Convening · Diaspora compact

A pooled compact, capped so no single member matters too much. Forty-one members, one rule.

The diaspora compact pools funding and expertise from Tamils abroad under one restriction: every contribution is unrestricted, and every member's share is capped and published as a band.

The facts, first
Members
41 individuals, as at 18 August 2026
Pooled band
₹25–50 lakh, unrestricted
Cap
No member exceeds 3% of the foundation's annual income
In return
Early access to tracker data and a standing invitation to roundtables
Why pooled, why capped

A single large diaspora donor would be a relationship to manage. Forty-one capped members are a constituency to answer to. The second is healthier for everyone, including the donor.

The cap is arithmetic, not manners: below 3%, no member's departure can move a programme.

What members see first

Tracker releases reach members forty-eight hours early, complete with tag census and source list. Nothing about the content is negotiable in that window — only errors get fixed, and the fix is logged.

Attend

Seats follow relevance. Questions follow evidence.
