A personal commitment
Generosity is where
it all began.
Before founding The Giving Legacy, Sam Sharma contributed over $1 million to nonprofits including St. Jude's Hospital, Feeding South Florida, and Vous Church.
Those experiences shaped a vision: bring practical support and spiritual care together, and build something that lasts.
Incorporated in Delaware and planning programs in Florida, our foundation will work alongside local churches, community organizations, and volunteers to put that vision into action.
