Giving From Abroad
Support People Through a Safe Giving Process.
For supporters living outside India, any financial contribution or service coordination needs clarity on compliance, receipts, and trusted use of funds.
Why NRI giving is different
Sending money to family is a remittance. Donating to an Indian nonprofit from abroad must follow applicable foreign contribution rules. The goal is simple: your support reaches people legally, transparently, and with the right receipt trail.
- Confirm FCRA eligibility before international transfers
- Use official bank or payment details only
- Keep donation receipt and passport/PAN details where required

Transfer

Record
Keep transfer confirmation, donor identity details where required, and the donation receipt for your records.
