Current operating position

Secure domestic online donations are open

Indian citizens can donate in INR through Cashfree. Indian citizens living abroad can also donate using their own Indian bank account or Indian payment method. Foreign-source donations and foreign currencies are not accepted.

  • No tax deduction under section 80G is claimed or promised on this website.
  • No FCRA registration or permission is represented; foreign-source donations are not accepted through this website.
  • Indian citizens may donate from India or while living abroad when the donation is from their own funds, paid through their own Indian bank account or Indian payment method, and denominated in Indian Rupees (INR).
  • No CSR-1 eligibility, government partnership, accreditation, grant, or sponsorship is represented unless expressly supported by a published document.
  • A programme is not active merely because it appears as a focus area. Active projects will be identified by location, partner, approval status, budget, and verifiable progress.

Donation terms

Donations are completed through Cashfree. A donation is marked as confirmed only after Cashfree verifies the successful INR payment.

  • Indian citizens may use this service from India or abroad. Foreign citizens, including OCI/PIO cardholders, may not use it because their donations are foreign contribution under FCRA guidance.
  • Only Indian Rupee (INR) transfers are accepted. Foreign bank accounts, foreign currencies, and foreign-source contributions are not accepted.
  • A checkout result or browser message does not by itself confirm receipt. Only the server-verified status confirms payment.
  • This website provides no administrator or donor function to initiate a refund. Cashfree or a bank may still automatically reverse a failed or debited transaction under their rules.
  • No tax deduction under section 80G is promised unless a valid, transaction-specific receipt expressly states otherwise.

Refunds & cancellations

Future programmes

The Foundation is developing a digital-services initiative. A project can be accepted only when it is permitted by the trust's registered objects, approved by the trustees and supported by the required contract, accounting, tax, invoicing and banking arrangements.

  • A digital-service enquiry is not an accepted project. Scope, technical ownership, commercial terms, data protection, tax treatment and any participant involvement must be reviewed and agreed in writing first.
  • Project fees pay for contracted software delivery. They are not donations or 80G gifts and must remain separate from charitable contributions.
  • Any accepted service activity must follow the trust's registered objects and maintain the separate accounting and tax treatment required by law.
  • Net surplus, if any, is retained and applied in accordance with the Foundation's registered objects. This does not change a client fee into a donation.
  • Paid travel, accommodation, transport, food, guiding, or packaged experiences will not be described as charitable donations.
  • Tourism will begin only through appropriately registered operators and providers, or after the foundation obtains the registrations required to act as operator.
  • Cultural heritage work will require ownership verification, written custodian consent, local permissions, and protected-monument review where applicable.
  • Village photographs, stories, and personal information will be published only with appropriate consent and safeguards.

Documents and questions

Registration, tax, fundraising, and programme permissions are legally different. A person considering a donation, partnership, or paid service should rely only on the specific current document applicable to that transaction. Questions may be sent through the contact form.
