Parinaam Foundation was incorporated as a not-for-profit organization under Section 25 of the Companies Act 1956, on
March 31st, 2008. Our mandate is to provide social services to poor women and their family members in India. Parinaam
has tax exempt status under Section 12A and approval under Section 80G (5) (vi) of the Income Tax Act 1961. The 80G
approval, which allows Indian citizens a tax break on donations, is valid up to March 31st, 2012.
Recognizing that poverty manifests itself in various forms and financial support alone cannot help the poor, Parinaam provides critical 'social' support to urban poor families. We provide services in the areas of healthcare, education, professional development and community development initiatives. We are more than just another aid giving organization, and we see ourselves as a friend, mentor, companion to 'our folks'; someone they can always turn to for support.
