Money

How we handle funds

A note on donations. We do not publish bank account details on this website. If you intend to give, please email us first and we will send our banking details, registration certificates and receipt format directly. Treat any account details for “Gramotsav Foundation” that reach you by any other route as suspect until you have confirmed them with us.
Reporting a concern. If you have a concern about our conduct, finances or safeguarding, whether you are a student, parent, staff member, volunteer or partner, write to gramotsavfoundation@gmail.com marked Confidential, for the Board. Concerns raised in good faith will not be held against the person raising them.

We are young, registered and ready to start. There is room for a partner on the Blind School Project, for someone to sponsor a cohort of learners, or for a saathi who can give us a morning a week.
