There are numerous non-profit organisations across India working for variety of causes
touching upon environmental, social, health and the like. These NGOs receive support from
government and it also depends upon involvement of general public in terms of donation,
volunteering and support. All NGOs work for a primary cause and strive to benefit the
population at the grass root level. This is so because when we are looking at a sustainable
change across all sections of the society then we need to focus on the lowest rung of the
society. As NGOs require funds to manage their programme, they also provide a platform for
supporters and donors to get involved with their cause. The Akshaya Patra Foundation is a NGO
that has been working in partnership with government and philanthropic supporters to
implement, sustain and expand its mid-day meal programme. Akshaya Patra serving children by
being in the mid-day meal sector for over a decade has witnessed the potential of growth and
sustainability when the entire community gets involved with the cause.
Like other NGOs, Akshaya Patra too has chalked out an elaborate range of choices for its
supporters to choose from. This caters to the skill, time and resources that supporters can
contribute towards the Foundation. One can choose to support the mid-day meal programme
of Akshaya Patra by choosing to donate in memory of loved ones, weddings, birthdays, festivals
or maybe get involved for Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives too. When we donate in
memory of someone dear to us, it is a form of gratitude we pay to the departed soul and
serving children with that thought is one of the noblest philanthropic acts. Get Involved will
open up a plethora of choices available for supporters across India and abroad to benefit the
undeserved children with wholesome meals per day.

Mostly all registerednon-profit organizations will provide a donation receipt to its donors and
will have the provision of providingincome tax exemption, and Akshaya Patra is one among
them. This arrangement makes donation to be benefitting the beneficiary and the donor too.
With the donation that the Akshaya Patra receives, it can steer the programme towards
benefitting more and more children; and on the other hand it benefits the donors by making
them eligible for income tax exemption. During the income tax filing period, we search high
and low to show investments that could be eligible for exemption. Here donating to NGOs
could be an answer. At Akshaya Patra, a donor who contributes Rs. 500 or more become
eligible for receiving tax exemption certificate.
Currently, the Foundation feeds more than 1.4 million children every day and it aims to feed 5
million by 2020. This indicates the proportion of support the non-profit organisation is looking
forward to from across all sections of the society. Partner with Akshaya Patra and partake in
developing the young citizens of the country to become healthy, literate and confident. Get
involved in the service of children for a better and promising future.
