Charity donations has established significance for non-profit organisations across the globe. Whether Indian NGO or international NGO, the importance of charity donations remains the same. Charity donations have the potential to alter many lives in the light of positivity and hope. Talking about India, there are many Indian NGOs working towards varied causes. The gamut of causes pertains to issues related to child, health, women, literacy, employment, poverty, hunger, environment, senior citizens and many more. This list makes it clear that when citizens offer charity donations to any non-profit organisation, they are actually taking a conscious step towards bettering the society. Charity donations need not be just a one-sided affair for benefiting the NGO beneficiaries; it may be the other way round too, morally and economically. When a person contributes charity donations, it satiates his or her moral values towards the society and fellow beings. It also becomes a medium of saving tax because many Indian NGOs give tax exemption certificates to its donors, thereby proving to be economically benefitting the donor.
Here is a mention about an Indian NGO that has been working tirelessly for past 14 years to make sure that children in India receives at least one wholesome meal per day. This Indian NGO is The Akshaya Patra Foundation. Akshaya Patra implements the mid-day meal programme to children studying in Government schools. It follows the Public-Private Partnership model in implementing the programme. Currently, its reach is felt in 23 locations of 10 Indian states. With the vision of 'No child in India shall be deprived of education because of hunger' this Indian NGO feeds 1.4 million children every day. Akshaya Patra has set itself a mission of feeding 5 million children by 2020. Indeed a humongous task but certainly achievable with the cooperation and support of everyone. This Indian NGO is confident that contribution in any form is a service to the underserved children. Thus, it opens up platform for charity donations, volunteering, CSR activities and online/offline awareness activities.
