Donating is a beautiful act of giving.

When you decide to donate monthly to a charitable foundation of your choice, you make a monthly financial commitment to the charity and yourself. While this act helps you monitor and control your finances, charitable organizations also prefer monthly donations every month. Here's why; 

For many charitable institutions, especially small to medium scale ones, revenues in the form of donations usually fluctuate dramatically from one month to another, as well as yearly. Therefore, when you donate monthly, it offers the NGOs and various such institutions a steady and predictable source of funding. It also allows them to prosper from other benefits of monthly revenue income. For example, administrative and other paper works during donations are better streamlined. Additionally, when the donation flow is predicted well, charities can focus on fulfilling their mission by planning future projects and activities without worrying about the funds. 

In addition to supporting the charity you care about, there are several benefits for donors like you:

A) When you donate monthly, you are committed to causes that are important to you. This will help you plan and strategize your donations to charities.

B) Scheduling a monthly donation does not only help a charity or an NGO forecast their funding, budget their finances, and plan future programmes, it also helps you, the donor, budget your monthly spending. Instead of the Diwali, Christmas, or New Year donations, you may want to consider donating on a monthly basis. 

C) Tracking and usage of donations allows you to also keep a tab on your tax documents. Beyond taxes, by understanding your donation history, you will be able to assess better and plan your charitable strategy and budget for the next financial year.

D) When you donate, it allows you to make a more significant charitable impact. One month after another, your timely donations will always be better weighted than a few sporadic donations made to charities throughout the year.

The act of giving, helping, and serving humankind is the highest form of compassion; it is what makes us humans. We are also aware that many less fortunate people in the world depend on our kindness for their basic livelihood. Therefore, it becomes a responsibility to stand up in solidarity with them and donate so that they can live a normal life.

The ‘Beti bachao beti padhao’ campaign

The ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ initiative was launched by Prime Minister Modi on January 22, 2015, in Haryana. Translating into ‘Save the Girl Child, Educate the Girl Child’, this program aimed to give young girls access to large-scale welfare services. It was devised to give the girl child access to survival, safety, and education while celebrating the girl child in an effort to fight India’s deep-rooted gender bias towards women. ‘ Beti Bachao Beti Padhao Yojana ’ is India’s most high profile and widespread campaign to empower the girl child. It is a program being run jointly by the Ministry of Women and Child Development, Ministry of Human Resource Development and Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. As per the census data of 2001, the child sex ratio in India (0-6 years) was a mere 927 girls per 1000 boys. This further declined in 2011 to a staggering 918 girls for every 1,000 boys. Addressing and improving this dwindling CSR is one of the principal intentions of this...

Don’t miss out on donation tax exemption.

Donating to charity is a generous act. It is an admirable thing to financially support a cause that one believes in and to do your bit for society. In order to encourage these noble gestures, the government has also extended its support towards charitable services. The section 80G of the Indian Income Tax Act allows a provision for tax deductions made on donations to any charitable organization. This ensures that generous donors can avail donation tax exemption .   Since 2008, Save the Children has positively enriched the lives of millions of children in India.

These donations go a long way towards positively impacting the lives of vulnera...

Information on Child Labour

Child labour refers to the engagement of a child in any form of work that is harmful to their physical, mental and emotional development. The practice of child labour is a violation of human rights, and can potentially lead to lifelong physical or psychological damage. Children who are employed as child labourers are often forced to drop out of school and discontinue their education. There is a need to create awareness on the issue of child labour and spread information on child labour. Children are extremely vulnerable and are exposed to various risks when they are engaged as child labourers. They are separated from their families, exposed to serious danger and left to fend for themselves. Millions of children around the world are trapped still in child labour. They are deprived of a proper childhood and denied access to adequate health, nutrition, education and sanitation. Child labour is a serious violation of a child’s rights and highly exploitative in nature. Based on t...
