Ama Odia Parivar is run entirely by volunteers. Nobody here draws a salary, so what you give goes into the work itself — blood donation camps, school fees for children whose families cannot meet them, support for families of children under cancer treatment, and help for households hit by sudden hardship.
We cannot yet take card or online payments through this website. A payment gateway needs the Society’s own verification with the bank, and that is not in place. Until it is, the ways to give below are the real ones — they work today and every rupee reaches the same account.
We can only accept donations from within India. Ama Odia Parivar does not hold registration under the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, and a society without it may not receive a foreign contribution — including from a non-resident Indian, and including money sent from an overseas account to an Indian one.
If you are outside India and would like to help, please write to us rather than sending money. There are things you can do that do not involve a transfer, and we would rather find one of those than put the Society in breach.
Where the Society stands
Tax deduction
Not available yet
The Society is not yet 80G registered, so a donation cannot be claimed against tax. We will say so here the day that changes.Donations from abroad
Cannot be accepted
No FCRA registration, so foreign contributions cannot be received at all.How to give
The Society’s bank details are not published here yet. Until they are, please write to us and we will tell you how to give.
What your donation pays for
These are the four things the Society spends money on. You can say which one you would like your donation used for when you transfer it, or leave it to be used where it is needed most.
- Blood donation camps — venue, refreshments, equipment and the volunteers’ costs on the day.
- Education support — school fees, books and uniforms for children whose families cannot meet them.
- Child cancer support — help for families staying far from home while a child is treated.
- Relief and family support — households facing illness, bereavement or sudden loss of income.
To confirm. What a given amount actually buys. The spec asks for each suggested amount to carry a real outcome — “₹500 pays for a child’s school books for a term” rather than a bare “Donate”. It measurably lifts giving, but only if the figure is true. Work out the real unit costs from what the Society has actually spent, and those lines can be written. Please do not let anyone invent them: a donor who gives ₹500 for school books and later learns the number was made up does not give again, and tells people.
Where the money goes
The Society’s registration documents and accounts are published on the Transparency & Compliance page, along with the split between programme spending and running costs. If something you want to see is not there, ask for it.
Giving something other than money
- Your time. Camps and distribution drives need people on the day. Write to us through the contact page.
- Your blood. The camps need donors more than they need funding. Details are on the blood donation page.
- Goods. Books, uniforms, medical consumables, printing, transport or venue space are often easier for a business to give than cash, and just as useful.
- Your company’s support. If you work somewhere that funds community work, see CSR Partnership.
Larger or regular giving
If you would like to fund a whole programme, give regularly, or arrange something in memory of someone, please write to us and choose Donation or refund. Somebody will come back to you personally.
To confirm. Once a payment gateway is in place, this page gains the amount buttons, one-time and monthly options, and an instant receipt. Three things are needed first: the gateway account with the Society’s own KYC, 80G registration if donations are to carry tax relief, and a decision on FCRA. The Refund Policy the gateway will ask for is already published.
