The majority of SEF's fundraising effort is achieved through fundraising events, booths in major events, advertising and working with major donors.
Through these fundraising efforts, SEF, USA has played a significant role in increasing the number of free surgeries eightfold to its current projected annual rate of about 70,000.
Funds collected under specific programs are sent in its entirety to India. In addition, SEF, USA provides extensive feedback to its donors on how the money is used. This feedback has led to a large number of repeat donors.
