Our Impact
At SAEF, our focus is to elevate the Indian American brand to be a meaningful representation of the community. We envision a future where Indian Americans feel a PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP in all things Indian and lobby for impactful change on how the community is perceived , treated and acknowledged as it assimilates into AMERICANA.
What is Pride Of Ownership?
How do we plan to do that?
At SAEF, our work is dedicated to building a strong Indian American brand through initiatives that marry Americanisms with Indianisms. This leads to enhanced and impactful conversations about the community.
Our flagship initiative South Asian Spelling Bee aims to do the same. Spelling bees are known to be an American brain sport, and when mixed with the diligence of academic focus from Indian Americans, it results in success!
Since 2008, almost every year an Indian American speller has been the champion and has been invited on a national media tour including a visit to the White House. This type of exposure created a widespread awareness for the Indian American community, piqued interests from other communities and gave the diaspora publicity on a national scale.
What is our hope for the future?
