FAQ’s
- Where does the money go?
Auroville International (AVI) USA supports Auroville projects to flourish and as Thamarai is a project under the Auroville Foundation, they are our fiscal partner and channel funds to us. AVI USA is a nonprofit, tax-exempt charitable organization (tax ID number 23-7360183) under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. This means that donations within the USA are tax deductible.
- How can I track the donations I receive in my campaign?
You will have access to a portal for your campaign (basically, like a back-end dashboard with information about donations received – e.g. from whom, where, amount). You will get an email notifying you of every donation made to your campaign.
- What kind of accountability for donations can you provide?
Every donor will receive a confirmation email after they donate. We will regularly share updates and reports so you can see how your donations are being used to benefit girls.
- If I am in India does it make sense to channel funds via the USA portal?
It is up to you. Auroville also has its own gateway for donations within India.
