We are imagining a contemporary future for Sikhs. Through innovation and investment we are creating a Sikh institution for the future and encouraging new opportunities for connection to the Guru's wisdom.
The world has changed and continues to change rapidly. Yet, our modes of connection to the Guru Granth Sahib have not. Our Charter Members are interested in fuelling innovations that will allow everyone to find new connections to Gurmat. Through this work, many Charter Members are even enhancing their own connection to the Guru.
Preservation is not enough. Our Charter Members are interested in fuelling work that will create a living, thriving culture for Sikhi. From the present moment, through to our children and grandchildren, our Charter Members are collectively looking towards the horizon to ensure that a bright future lies in store for those seeking a path towards Sikhi.
Our Charter Members are accomplished and highly driven individuals who have oriented their lives towards achievement. Now, they are interested in being of service—and seeing the tangible impact of their service—towards the Panth. As some of the highest functioning members of our global Sangat, our Charter Members are looking for the institutional vehicles that will amplify their individual impact.

Our Charter Members span geographies, life experiences and qualifications. Our membership reflects the diversity of the Panth.
We chose the term very carefully. Typically, a “charter member” is someone who is involved at the inception—during the earliest stages of starting something new, of founding an organization or initiating a meaningful project. This term could not be more true for our Charter Members:
We are imagining a contemporary future for Sikhs that does NOt currently exist
We are encouraging a worldwide connection to Gurbani that does NOt exist
We are setting out to build the institution that does NOt exist
Our Charter Members are the founders of this future — committed to this shared vision.

With the help of The Guru Granth Sahib Project, people from all around the world can build that deeper connection that they couldn’t before. Beyond that, there are increasing generations of Sikhs in diaspora who do not consume Panjabi content, let alone Gurbani. The universal messages and timeless wisdom of Sabad are trapped behind a disconnection with the script and lexicon of the time.
