#Donation for NGO organization

[aahwahan]

Important Things to Consider When You Choose the Best NGOs to Donate to on any Platform?

For NGOs, most of the time, donations are their central source of funding. Here, contributions range in size from modest to large & come from a variety of sources. The source can be a foreign national, people, company, or Indian citizen. At the beginning, when an NGO is first starting out, it has unique challenges in raising money, and after it establishes a solid foundation in the community, raising money becomes quite easier. Therefore, while choosing the best NGOs to donate to, you need to consider some criteria in order to assess their reliability.

Let’s find out what should be considered for an NGO donation:

Verify the Registration Status of an NGO

Prior to making a donation for NGO organization, it is imperative that you investigate the legitimacy of the organization as well as ascertain that your funds are being handled securely. Therefore, the first need is to determine whether the NGO is officially registered or not. In case you wish to verify the legitimacy, this must be a recognized NGO since they will also be able to apply for help from government agencies.

Go for checking acts like:

· The "Indian Trust Act, 1885" is needed in order for an NGO to register as a trust.

·  In order to register an NGO as a Society inside the market, one must comply with the "Society Registration Act, of the year 1860."

· Despite being a non-profit organization, an NGO still needs to be registered as an organization. Therefore, this also needs to register as a company under "Companies Act, of the year 2013" Section 8 of Company registrations.

·  Also, the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act or simply FCRA registration is also needed.

Determine Different Payment Options Available with a Particular NGO

It would be complicated to trust an organization in case all they ask for is cash payments because cash transactions are typically undetected. As a result, you should not put your trust in any organization that requests just cash payments as Donation for NGO organization. Therefore it is a good idea to review different payment alternatives, including checks as well as other online payment methods.

Check Whether an NGO have Transparency or Not!!

Today, not all of the NGOs that are popping up in our country need to be reliable. This becomes so important to look up an NGO's reputation through its past before contributing any donation. You must check how it has performed in earlier times, whether the raised funds have been utilized for the said purpose or not. You can check some financial details, social media accounts, tax structure, & other such information about an NGO before actually going ahead with the best NGOs to donate to. Such NGOs, which tend to have more political ties & put in less effort toward their objectives, should be avoided. 

Check, is there any Tax Deduction for Donations Made to a Specific NGO?

This is a good idea to think about whether your donation to a specific NGO qualifies for tax deduction under Income Tax laws. Giving to the welfare of society as well as receiving tax benefits is absolutely great for you and as a result, you can gain from both philanthropy and tax-free gifts.

man there are some absolute ghouls on this website

I saw someone saying both 'the people doing unpaid work verifying and vetting palestinian fundraisers could be scammers running a massive bot ring because I don't personally know them' AND 'besides, it costs like 30-80k to cross the Rafah border, it just doesn't seem worth it for one family, just donate to the UNRWA instead : /'

15 August 2023 — Greece’s wildfires claimed the lives and homes of humans and animals alike.

HSI is financially supporting @DogsVoiceGR, who was on the ground saving animals in danger.

In just two days, the organization received more than 450 animals, which is twice as much as their largest operation to date.

Your support makes it possible for us to respond when natural disasters strike. Thank you for helping to save animals during this difficult time in Greece. ⬇️

From River To The Sea Palestine Will Be Free 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

-----

Edit 1: took the first video down because turns out the animator is a terf and it links to her blog. Really sorry for any distress.

Edit 2: All recommended readings + Haymarket recommendations + essential decolonization texts have been uploaded to my linked gdrive. I will adding more periodically. Please do buy or check them out from the library if possible, but this post was made for and by poor and gatekept Global South bitches like me.

Some have complained about the memes being disrespectful. You're actually legally obligated to make fun of Israeli propaganda and Zionists. I don't make the rules.

Edit 3: "The river to the sea" does not mean the expulsion of Jews from Palestine. Believing that is genocide apologia.

Edit 4: Gazans have specifically asked us to put every effort into pushing for a ceasefire instead of donations. "Raising humanitarian aid" is a grift Western governments are pushing right now to deflect from the fact that they're sending billions to Israel to keep carpet bombing Gazans. As long as the blockades are still in place there will never be enough aid for two million people. (UPDATE: PLEASE DONATE to the Gazan's GoFundMe fundraisers to help them buy food and get out of Rafah into Egypt. E-SIMs, food and medical supplies are also essential. Please donate to the orgs linked in the How You Can Help. Go on the strikes. DO NOT STOP PROTESTING.)

Edit 5: Google drive link for academic books folder has been fixed. Also have added a ton of resources to all the other folders so please check them out.

Edit 6: Added interactive maps, Jadaliya channel, and masterlists of donation links and protest support and of factsheets.

The twitter accounts I reposted as it was given to me and I just now realized it had too many Israeli voices and almost none of the Palestinians I'm following, so it's being edited. (Update: done!) also removed sources like Jewish Voices of Peace and Breaking the Silence that do good work but have come under fair criticism from Palestinians.

Edit 7: Complete reformatting

Edit 8: Complete revamping of the social media section. It now reflects my own following list.

Edit 9: removed some more problematic people from the allies list. Remember that the 2SS is a grift that's used to normalize violence and occupation, kids. Supporting the one-state solution is lowest possible bar for allyship. It's "Free Palestine" not "Free half of Palestine and hope Israel doesn't go right back to killing them".

Edit 10: added The Palestine Directory + Al Jazeera documentary + Addameer. This "100 links per post" thing sucks.

Edit 11: more documentaries and films

Edit 12: reformatted reading list

Edit 13: had to remove @palipunk's masterlist to add another podcast. It's their pinned post and has more resources Palestinian culture and crafts if you want to check it out

Edit 14 6th May '24: I've stopped updating this masterlist so some things, like journalists still left in Gaza and how to support the student protests are missing. I've had to take a step back and am no longer able to track these things down on my own, and I've hit the '100 links per post' limit, but if you can leave suggestions for updates along with links in either the replies or my asks I will try and add them.

Edit 15 10th August: added to Palestinian allies list and reworked the Help for Palestine section. There's been a racist harrassment campaign against the Palestinian Tumblrs that vetted the Gaza fundraisers based off one mistake made by a Gazan who doesn't understand English. If you're an ally, shut that shit down. Even if you donate to a scam GFM, you're only out some coffee money; if everyone stops donating to all the GFMs in fear of scams, those families die.

The Psychological Effect of Chronic Illness on Families

Chronic illness is not solely a burden taken upon the individual; it extends its reach outwards, touching every member of the family. The relentlessness of some chronic diseases-such as cancer, diabetes, organ failures, or any other potentially fatal ailments-compels families to adjust to new realities at high emotional and psychological costs. The journey of chronic illness is long and uncertain and has the potential to be quite profound regarding its impact upon families, not only emotionally but financially and within daily life.

When a close family member is diagnosed with a chronic disease, first comes the shock, and then emotions start flowing: fear, anxiety, anger, and even self-blame. Family members pendulate between hope and despair, especially when confronted with the mortal consequences of a certain disease. Uncertainty about the future and daily worrying about managing the illness may build up into chronic, uncontrolled stress that sooner or later evolves into depression or anxiety disorder.

Children, in particular, may or may not realise what is happening and may often feel helpless or alienated while watching a parent or sibling go through all the trials of chronic illness. It can also alter spousal relationships because one becomes more of a caregiver toward the other, which brings along resentment or burnout feelings. The emotional toll is very valid, and it can gnaw away at the very core of family life.

Another key burden on the family is financial. The increased cost of medical care and transportation, as well as the potential loss of income when a family member must reduce work hours or leave the workforce to care for a loved one, contribute to financial stress. It was also interjected that this financial burden might increase emotional stress and lead to frustration and feelings of helplessness, which could even create conflict within the family. Such constant concerns about finances may overshadow the focus on the well-being of the patient completely, thereby setting up a vicious cycle that further impacts the mental health of the family.

Such financially strained moments are when organisations like Transplant India very much come to the fore in alleviating such pressure by providing financial support to the families who bear the expensive organ transplant processes, hence helping families to concentrate on emotional and psychological healing.

Despite such challenges, families often find a way to cope using both internal and external resources. There lies a central role in building resilience, which involves open communication, emotional support, and sometimes professional help. Here are some of the common ways or mechanisms in which families cope with the vagaries of chronic illness:

Open Communication: Honest and open communication is very important in helping the family to process their feelings and understand each other's needs. Regular family meetings or discussions can provide the best place to safely share fears, frustrations, and hopes for the maintenance of a good family bond.

Professional Help: Therapy or counselling can arm families with some of the tools necessary to keep their emotional responses to chronic illness in check. Guidance from a professional can help in coping with stress and developing healthy communication techniques, in addition to not allowing more serious mental health problems to occur.

Establishing a Support System: Drawing on extended family, and friends, or having a support group can be very relaxing. In offering practical help with daily tasks or sometimes providing a shoulder to share their feelings with, a good support system can take off a part of the burden and give moral nourishment.

Embracing Flexibility: Most of the time, chronic illness is going to require some change in daily routines and expectations. Families who can learn to be flexible and adjust to new circumstances do much better. This may mean renegotiating household responsibilities or work schedules to allow for care needs.

Making Moments of Joy: Of all the hardships, making moments of joy and appreciation can be so powerful. Be it in the celebration of small victories in the health journey of a patient or just great times spent together, focusing on the positives helps in holding on to normalcy and hope.

Beyond the nuclear family, a broad network of external support becomes critical to enabling families to cope with chronic illness. Resources provided by community organisations, health care providers, and non-profit groups can help lighten this burden. These may include financial aid, counselling, respite care, educational programs, and guidance that empowers families with knowledge about the illness and how to manage it.

This can also bring comfort and solidarity when connecting with other families who have gone or are going through similar experiences. In-person or online support groups enable the sharing of experiences, giving of advice, and receiving of empathy from people who truly understand how the journey feels.

While there is no denying that chronic illness will irrevocably alter the dynamics of family life, it ushers in not a few challenges that call for resiliency, adaptability, and support. By being open with communication, seeking out professional help, and opening up to help offered by community resources, families can transcend the psychological tolls of chronic illness more effectively and in unity.

This context is quite consoling in knowing that there are organisations that take cognisance of some of these issues and take on the responsibility of betterment. For instance, Transplant India provides financial support not only to a life-saving transplant but also gives the network that is equally needed to cope emotionally and psychologically with illness. It's in those most trying times that they offer a helping hand to make sure family members get to focus their energies on what counts: taking care of loved ones.
