American India Foundation - USA’s Post

Every day, as we go about our busy lives, there are people right around us who are struggling to survive—families with no roof over their heads, children going to bed hungry, and the sick left untreated for lack of basic medical care. It's heartbreaking, but these aren’t just statistics—they're human beings with hopes, dreams, and fears just like ours. In a country as diverse and vibrant as India, it’s shocking that while we debate over city names, so many are still battling for their basic right to live with dignity. Hundreds of crores are spent on renaming cities, yet we have children dying from malnutrition, people sleeping on roadsides, and trains running late while the poor suffer in silence. What’s the use of calling a place "Ram ka ghar" or "Allah ki nagri" if those living in it are starving? We need to awaken our sense of humanity, beyond the labels of religion, caste, or creed. Let's shift our focus from debates to action. And if you don’t know where to start or how to make an impact, reach out to us. At Ninebee Foundation, we are making a real difference on the ground through a variety of social projects, helping those in need, one life at a time. Join us as a volunteer, donate as individuals or through your company’s CSR, and help us reach more people. We are a registered Section 8 NGO with NITI Aayog and offer tax benefits on donations—but more than that, we offer a chance to make a real, tangible difference. Don’t wait for anyone else to bring about change. Look around you—do what you can for the needy without asking for their name, religion, caste, or background. See them as *Rab ka roop*, and help if you can. You can be the change. 😊💪 #BeTheChange #HumanityFirst #HelpTheNeedy #MakeADifference #NinebeeFoundation #VolunteerForGood #CSRForImpact #DoGoodFeelGood #SupportTheUnderprivileged

A big thank you to Kriti and Tanvi for their beautiful message that captures the heart and soul of IDRF’s mission. Your message reminds us that while talent and potential are universal, opportunities are not. Growing up, many of us were fortunate enough to have access to education and resources that opened doors we never imagined. However, nearly 30% of children in India drop out of school before completing elementary education, often due to financial and societal barriers. At the same time, millions of women possess untapped leadership potential but lack the resources and skills to break free from the cycles of poverty. This Giving Season, we have the chance to change that. Every contribution to IDRF fuels brighter futures. Your donation could mean a child going to school for the first time, a woman starting her own business, or a family breaking the cycle of poverty for generations. #EmpowerWithIDRF today by donating on IDRF.org #endpoverty #QualityEducationForAll #genderequality #DecentWorkAndEconomicGrowth #NoOneLeftBehind #PartnershipForTheGoals #socialimpact #givingseason #EmpowerWithIDRF #skilldevelopment #IDRF #indianngosinusa #indiancommunitysupport #indiareliefefforts #indiannonprofits #indiancharity #ngosforindia #indianphilanthropy Rajeev Jain Vandana Matravadia Nisha Narayanan Adesh Jain Sudha Jain Mohinder Gulati Dr. Amitabh Sharma PREM GARG Divya Gupta Rajesh G.

We recognize the pivotal role of not-for-profits in driving positive change within our communities and understand the challenges they face due to chronic underfunding, which hampers their ability to fully realize their potential. The recent Pay-What-It-Takes (PWIT) India Initiative sheds light on this issue, offering valuable insights into fostering stronger partnerships between funders (CSR, Domestic Philanthropy, and Global Philanthropy) and not-for-profits. This article in Alliance magazine written by the team at The Bridgespan Group highlights the role and impact of 14 funders in India that adopt more flexible and forward-thinking funding models to address the pressing need to build stronger not-for-profits that sustainably enable effective and scaleable implementation. Axis Bank Foundation is one of them. We are proud to contribute to this value chain of facilitating comprehensive solutions for our rural communities through our patient funding model, which focuses on: • Developing Multiyear Funder-Nonprofit Partnerships • Ensuring Fair Share of Core Costs • Investing in Organisational Development Explore the article for deeper insights and learn about other essential funding principles for creating long-term impact till the last mile.

In India, countless generous individuals yearn to make a meaningful impact Yet, the path to finding a trustworthy NGO is fraught with challenges that breed skepticism among donors. Some of these challenges are: 👉 Transparency remains elusive as many NGOs fail to disclose how donations are utilized, leaving donors in the dark with indecipherable reports.  👉 Finding credible information is equally daunting, with donors lacking the time and resources for extensive research.  👉 Moreover, measuring impact is often obscured denying donors the reassurance of knowing their contributions make a difference. 👉 The opacity around administrative costs further clouds trust, leaving donors questioning where their money truly goes. At Let It Count, we understand these frustrations and are committed to rewriting this narrative with rigorously detailed and tenacious due diligence. We verify, authenticate, and transparently fund projects that address pressing social issues. Join us in restoring faith in philanthropy and making every donation count.

Society often sees disability as a barrier — a limit to what a person can do, achieve, or become. But history tells a different story. Time and again, individuals with disabilities have defied expectations, breaking barriers and achieving greatness that inspires us all. Robert M. Hensel once said, 'I choose not to place "DIS," in my ability.' At EHF, we live by this belief. We see potential, not limitations. We believe every person, no matter their challenges, holds the power to achieve remarkable things. All they need is a chance, a little support, and someone to believe in them. Together, we can rewrite the narrative. Join us in empowering lives and unlocking endless possibilities. Because everyone deserves a future filled with hope and opportunity #BrightFuture #EmpowerThroughEducation #DonateForACause #NGO #EducationForAll #India #SupportEducation #TogetherForChange #EkKadamShikshaKiAur Learn More & Donate: Website: https://ehfoundation.in/ Donate to Bright Future: https://lnkd.in/gnHZc3Tz Learn More About Bright Future: https://lnkd.in/g8mKn7MQ Follow Us: Instagram: https://lnkd.in/g3kVvRzn Twitter: https://lnkd.in/g8WP679y Whatsapp: https://lnkd.in/gu8TqXZe

𝑾𝒆𝒅𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒉 #CorporateSocialResponsibility is no more a new term for us. Most of us, including Corporates look at it as a charity. We donate objects & funds both depending upon the need & our wish & inclination. The only thing we want to be assured of it is whether it is going to the right hands... the real needy... and my salute to this gesture! However, there is also one more need - Intellectual support... The experience & the wisdom! When we talk about underprivileged sections of society, may the social issue be any but one common factor is that they are deprived of 'mainstreaming'. Just imagine various scenarios here... Differently able, Orphans, victims of human trafficking and also those coming from socio-economically deprived sections of society have been waiting for ages to get acceptance in mainstream society. When they don't get it, they lose on the current happenings in the world... the 'World View'! They don't get the opportunity to interact with & learn from all of us, who have the privilege to remain connected with the global scenarios. As a result, they lack the confidence, resulting in low self esteem & no charity can fulfil this need. The need of volunteers has been a constant, raised by many NGOs. A simple expectation from them is of their time & open sharing. The donation in monetary as well as other forms is for fulfilling the survival needs. However, this wisdom is necessary to tell them that they have equal opportunity & access to gain knowledge & build themselves. I am sure after this handholding & bridging this gap for few more years, we will not even need to discuss the 'mainstreaming'. Let's also understand that not only the underprivileged sections of society but many among us are also deprived of knowledge and wisdom! There are so many entrepreneurs, who want to grow but are not aware of the path... You may find them struggling in their own territories, waiting for right opportunities & guidance! At The Revolving Perspectives - Business Insights our effort is to build this bridge. If you know someone in need of such wisdom, let us know. And if you know someone who can donate wisdom, connect us with the concerned. Share your views & ideas in comments! #vindathecatalyst #donatewisdom #socialresponsibility
