The Center on South Asian Studies (CSAS) is an Illinois-based nonprofit and federally recognized 501(c)(3). We bring together people, ideas, and institutions to create meaningful, lasting change.
We believe progress happens when individuals, organizations, and philanthropists work with shared purpose and mutual trust. Our role is to connect talent, strengthen capacity, and support leaders whose work requires thoughtful, long-term backing—especially initiatives that may not attract easy attention or funding.
We provide strategic guidance, mentorship, and practical institutional support to help ideas grow into sustainable institutions. Our work is selective by design, prioritizing lasting impact over short-term visibility.
CSAS advances its mission through three focused pathways:
We design and operate select programs aligned with our long-term priorities. These include leadership development, fellowships, and research or media platforms where we provide direct oversight and stewardship.
Focus: Direct execution and measurable impact.
We collaborate with aligned organizations and leaders to strengthen existing work. We contribute strategy, mentorship, networks, and institutional support to expand collective capacity.
Focus: Shared leadership and ecosystem building.
We selectively back high-potential initiatives that may not easily attract traditional funding. Our support helps early-stage or under-recognized efforts grow into sustainable institutions.
Focus: Catalytic support and long-term viability.
