Parinaam has tax exempt status under Section 12A and approval under Section 80G (5) (vi) of the Income Tax Act 1961. The 80G approval is valid up to March 31st, 2012. Approval under the Foreign Currency Regulation Act (FCRA) is still needed and therefore we are restricted to Indian Rupee donations and grants from Indian Citizens and Companies and Non Resident Indians holding valid Indian Passports.

Here are some of the ways you can sponsor a program:

1) Health Camps: between Rs. 25000/- to Rs. 40000/- for camps in cities and 2-tier towns. Camps cover Eye/ENT/Dental specialties and have an average of 500 attendees. We have also conducted awareness camps for the chikungunya epidemics where doctors have conducted check-ups and medicines are distributed

2) Medical Relief Fund: Parinaam believes that to empower the poor to stand strong, charity is not the only answer. However we recognize that health shocks are the biggest factor that drives poverty below even that of the BPL levels. Lack of funds to pay hospital costs often kills. To this end we have started a Fund that will subsidize the cost of hospitalization emanating from camps as well as hospital care of patients from among our families. Donations and a Donor List that will have commitments towards specific surgeries are being sought.

3) Support our Urban Ultra Poor Families: It will cost us Rs. 52000/- per family of 5 members to provide them healthcare; vocational training & livelihood assets; food sustenance; education & childcare; financial literacy & social support for 12 months.

4) Ujjivan’s Education Loan Interest refund: It costs us 775/- to make the education loan a soft loan by refunding the interest component to the Ujjivan customer for each of her children for a year. Additionally we would like to start a revolving Scholarship Fund to fully support bright students – it costs Rs. 5000/- per one academic year per child.

5) General Donations: To cover the administrative costs of running our programs and providing the many “little” interventions that the poor so desperately need on a day to day basis and for which they, nor us, can ever dare to count – auto fares to reach a patient to a hospital in time; help with conversational English classes; support for the de-addiction awareness & support program; help with the chronic diseases that no health insurance will ever cover; development of the modules and the launch of a health education program. It goes on and on…….and every little bit helps.
