Our Funding Policy

 

Jeevan Prabhat Pondicherry is structured on the model of Jeevan Prabhat Gandhidham. Gandhidham is now totally funded by local community and online donations. Due to the organized way the work is being carried at Gandhidham, national and international communities and societies are donating in a generous way in to meet the financial requirements of Gandhidham. We follow a disciplined policy in accepting donations and the use of funds. Key features of our policies and procedures are:

  • Funding for each Project starts with zero balance. No funds are held aside for future projects.
  • We initiate a project outlining the concept, funds needed and the benefits it could provide. Members of organizing committee make personal donations to initiate the work, which generally are significant enough to cover over half the costs. Only there after we approach more donors to fill the budget gap.
  • We do not accept government grants or funds with strings attached.
  • We make no commercial use of any of our Facilities.
  • Our members don’t use the collected funds for their personal use, travel or entertainments.
  • We take good care of our children. We keep them in the best environment. The amenities provided include clean housing, nutritious food, clothing, education at good local schools, and after school coaching to complete the homework assignments. We don’t accept used clothing or leftovers for our children. We would not do anything to let our children feel second to anyone else. We provide an environment so that children can develop confidence and self respect.

We invite you to be partner in this great cause.

You can sponsor the education of a child with a contribution of just Rs.9,600 ($215) once a year for schooling, books, uniforms, shoes, school bags etc. Rs. 22,500 ($500) per year would cover total maintenance of education, food, clothing, medical, etc for one child for a full year.
