Things to Consider Before Donating to an NGO

James Russell Miller once said, Nothing else in
all life is such a maker of joy and cheer as the
privilege of doing good. It is indeed a great
humane gesture to give. It is a way to express
generosity and kindness towards the less
privileged sections of the society to fulfill our
social conscience.

Donating for a noble cause can be the most
gratifying feeling but many a times we are prone
to get hysterical and can rush into the process
without checking some significant details about
the NGO/ nonprofit.

• So if youre here reading this article, pause for
  a bit before parting ways with your hard-earned
  money. We want to make sure you understand that
  there are certain things which need to be kept in
  mind before you make a Best Online Charity in
  India.

Here are the things you need to check for,
before making your contribution
Is the NGO/Non Profit registered?
Does it provide a Safe Payment Method?
Do they provide reliable Accountability Transparency?
Are the donations Tax Deductible?
The bottom Line

Is the NGO/Non Profit registered?
The first step you need to take is to look for a
proper registration. Registered NGOs in India are
eligible to obtain a legal status, seek
assistance from government agencies, contract
funds and support from the relevant
departments. The NGOs registered under the FCRA
(Foreign Contribution Registration Act), are
eligible to get donations from foreign sources
implying a great financial stability of the
nonprofit.

Does it provide a Safe Payment Method?
The process one follows to make a donation for a
Best Charitable Trust is very important. After
all, as a donor, you would like to see that the
maximum part of your contribution reaches the
target NGO. It is mostly safe to avoid making a
donation in cash, and instead trying other
options such as cheques, or even better, online
payments. The donations of Narayan Seva Sansthan
are made online through the SSL gateway ensuring
security and privacy to the donors.

Are the donations Tax
Deductible?
Be aware of the fact that the donations for
certain NGOs like Narayan Seva Sansthan are
exempted from taxes under section 80G of the
Income tax. So, if your philanthropic
organization provides you Tax Free Donation then
its a cherry on the cake.  Also, not all
donations are eligible for Tax deduction, so you
are advised to go through the rules before making
a decision.

Do they provide reliableAccountability
Transparency?
In recent times, a couple of NGOs have been
caught in scams, concealing illegal ways where
the donor funds were not being used for the right
social cause. Therefore, the nonprofits past
achievements and financial position over the
years is a must to verify before getting
involved. Check the NGOs website, social media
presence, ongoing campaigns, contact information,
on-ground work, financial details, tax status and
other relevant features to decide which NGO you
want to give your money to. A reliable NGO is
always open to any form of Public Scrutiny

The bottom Line
If you know a reliable charitable organization
and want to support it, do the above research and
make the best decisions. Lastly, you can also try
donating through ways other than money, such as
getting involved by devoting your time and
skills. Narayan Seva Sansthan is widely hailed
as the best Charity Donation for Handicapped and
has improved the lives of millions by their cause
of providing free treatments and surgeries, skill
development, mass wedding ceremonies and what
not for the physically impaired individuals
