He Never Got School Uniform And Years Later He Bought It For Entire Orphanage

In this blog: We are sharing a heart-melting story of one of our donor who spoke about his early life and childhood. His story is a proof how dedication can change scenario of life.

Disclaimer: It was his request not to reveal his name. Details like name and location are changed/ hidden due to case sensitivity.

Everything started with an anonymous call we received. The person was asking about ‘number of school going children we have in our orphanage’, ‘number of boys/girls’.. We interrupted and asked his details, he said he wants to donate school uniforms to everyone’.

He continued saying he’ll meet us next day in the afternoon.

We were surprised to hear that but happy as well.

Next day we waited for this person and he was half an hour late than the decided time.

We were expecting someone in a luxury car (probably a rich person who can afford uniforms to all the children). But we saw a person getting down on a motorbike, in a casual attire and walked towards us and said, “sorry for being late”, “we spoke on a call yesterday”.

We both sat in an attic where he confirmed his intention of donating School Uniforms to all the children.

We clarified the cost and expenses and he said, “yeah I am aware of it, I just want you to select uniform color and the number of uniforms required”

He bought the school uniform for entire orphanage as promised and donated to us the very next day.

Brand new school uniforms were ready for the children. We placed it in and called all the students and everyone came and collected based on their size.

People these days usually click pictures, selfies or few bring cameraman to shoot everything.

The person who donated was standing right there but didn’t utter a single word.



We announced to the students to thank that person who donated and pointed my finger when there was a round of applause for him.

Then the students dispersed. He came towards us and said, during my childhood, “I use to have ‘old worn and torn’ uniform to use (given by others) and other children use to make fun of it. Though many years passed, I still remember that child inside me who wanted nothing but a good school uniform, I know how bad it feels. Even though I may not be very rich today but I can afford to bring smile to all these children”

He then left and promised to meet us soon.

Once who didn’t had a uniform to wear bought for entire orphanage.

All He Need Is ‘Pair Of Shoes’: Donation For Children

In this Blog: A heart-melting story that showcases a homeless boy who gets a new pair of shoes (which always needed). It will surely encourage you to make a donation for children right away.

As a child, we always want toys, games, fancy clothes, nonsense stuff and we always got that.

Just think about the kids who don’t have parents… even their basic needs and requirements barely matter to anyone.

This story starts with a homeless poor boy of around 7 with torn clothes, worn out slippers which were somehow attached using a safety pin walking across the railway platform.

Suddenly the safety pin brokes and his slippers lose the leg. He picks up the broken slippers and sats on the bench nearby. He was desperately trying to attach it back (as he knows that he couldn’t get any other). There he sees another boy with his family waiting for the train.

The poor boy says to himself, ‘How lucky he is’ because the other boy was wearing a new pair of shoes and was taking it in hand and cleaning again and again. A train stops at the station which probably the family was waiting for. A huge crowd rushed towards the train including the family. The other boy was still holding one shoe in hand while boarding the train.

The shoe accidentally falls from his hand but they couldn’t stop to pick it up as the train was leaving. This poor boy who was watching everything keenly runs towards the train picking up the shoe with an intention to return it to the other boy. The poor boy tries his best but the train was picking up the speed.

He then throws the shoe towards the other boy but the catch was missed. The poor boy was disappointed as the shoe didn’t reach the other boy. Then the other boy takes out his other shoe and throws on the railway platform (for the poor boy to collect) and waves his hand.

The poor boy is astonished to see it, he picks up the shoes and with tears in his eyes waves back at the other boy.

The parents of the other boy ask, “Son, that was your favorite shoes, aren’t you sad?”

“I have few other pairs at home dad, but he was barefooted. He needs them more than me” the son replied.

The parents were proud of their son.

The poor boy wore that shoes and was happy like never before.

At last the poor boy got a pair of shoes.

Let’s learn the biggest lesson from the poor boy who needed shoes desperately but tried his best to return it to the rightful person. The next biggest lesson from the other boy who left his new shoes for the needy boy and discovered the true happiness in the joy of giving.

Children are angels whose hearts are filled with purity and positivity. It’s sad to see the children who end their day without even eating anything. Can we change their lives? Yes, let’s make charity and donation for children and become the reason of their smile.

Women Empowerment By Skill Development Programs

 
What is Women Empowerment?

The answer could be different from everyone. The reason is there’s no definite meaning, to be honest. And interestingly, the word ‘Empowerment’ doesn’t even exist in few languages.

In general, it refers to providing education and jobs to women (mostly in the deprived section where the culture of ‘woman belongs to the kitchen’ exists).

The definition of Empowerment as per World Bank mentioned in HuffPost are as follows:

“Empowerment is the process of increasing the capacity of individuals or groups to make choices and to transform those choices into desired actions and outcomes”.

Empowerment is a process. Through the process, an individual becomes an agent of change. More simply put, it’s the “can do” factor, going from “I can’t” to “I can.”

The nation can be only in its survival stage till the woman has not been encouraged or made strong. It has been widely accepted by many known people that Woman Empowerment is very important for the society and also for the country.

How Legal Status of NGO is important in Charity?
1. Builds trust:

The authenticity is very important to know where your donations are being utilized. So if the NGO is a registered one, you will have a kind of trust with the NGO. You will be relaxed knowing that the money is being utilized by for a genuine purpose and you don’t necessarily have to follow up or cross check.
2. Tax Benefits:

In our blog, Tax Benefits in Charity we mentioned about the kind tax deductions are available for the people who make charity. But only if the NGO or organization is registered one. Otherwise, there is no eligibility for the deductions. This is why the legal status of NGO is to be verified before making a charity.
3. Charity to legal NGO bounds an agreement:

Whenever a charity is made to NGO that has a legal status, the donor and the NGO are bounded in a legal agreement and thus the topic of ‘Infringement’ can be made. If the NGO is not a legal one, then the donations made are not counted in terms of the law.

Tax Benefits of Making Charities and Donations

Good deeds always get appreciated. Even government authorities showcase a sweet gesture of allowing tax benefits of making charities and donations. This is to encourage people for making donations but the details of the tax benefits are still unclear among the people. In this blog, we will explain the scenario in which the tax benefits are allowed, the US tax benefits 501(c)(3) and tax exemption in India under section 80G. So, let's take a ride.

Tax Benefits are applicable when

1. Land or Property or Cash is donated: A declaration or notice of making a donation doesn’t get the tax benefits. The actual donation has to be done like transaction after which the amount donated will be considered for tax exemption.

2. The Organization must be registered: Not all the organizations are registered as an entity whose donations will be exempted. So, if the donations are made to an unregistered NGO or charitable foundation, there won’t be any amount that can be levied for tax benefits.

3. Proper paperwork mandatory: Each and every donation slip, legal or eligible document, material or immaterial transfer of property, funds, etc are compulsory backed by the proper paperwork by donors in order to claim for tax exemption.  

US Tax Benefits under 501(c)(3)

Let’s understand the meaning of 501(c)(3) given on the official website 501c3.org as follows:

“Section 501(c)(3) is the portion of the US Internal Revenue Code that allows for federal tax exemption of nonprofit organizations, specifically those that are considered public charities, private foundations or private operating foundations. It is regulated and administered by the US Dept Treasury through the Internal Revenue Service”.

This tax benefit allows you to claim for the tax benefits for an individual is up to 1/3rd of the total income. The companies get tax benefits for all donations given to registered org, providing their claim does not exceed their total annual net income.

Tax Benefits under 80G India

All the donations are not eligible for tax benefits in India. Donations made to certain registered organizations and charitable relief funds are considered for tax benefits under 80G in India.  

The website ‘Cleartax.in’ mentioned their article about 80G as,

● Only cash, cheque or DD should be the mode of payment and cash donations should not be exceeding 10,000 rs.

● Donations made in form of gifts, clothes, food items is not included for tax benefits.

● The donor is eligible for 50% to 100% of tax deductions with additional clauses.
