Donation FAQs
- + How much of my donation is going directly to people in need?
-
We ensure that 100 % of your donation will go towards all GIRD projects. We work very hard to keep our administrative costs extremely low. In fact, We spend $0 per year on fundraising and only 0.1 % of its operating budget on administrative costs. These numbers are drawn from audited financial statements. No administrative costs are funded by donations, which means that 100 % of all donations from individuals, associations, foundations, and businesses, provide direct care services to people living in poverty. We are very much committed to spending your money in a highly productive and efficient way..
- + Is my donation tax-deductible?
-
GIRD is a non-profit organization exempt from federal income taxation under IRC 501(c)(3). Donations are tax-deductible for United States citizens. For donors outside of the United States, please consult with your tax advisor to determine whether your donation is tax-deductible.
- + I don't have much money. Can I still help?
-
Yes! The average cost of our basic project is $25, which means that $25 saves the life of a pregnant woman during labor. Small donations of even $10 or $20 greatly saves the life of a new born baby. Larger donations (e.g. $250, $500, $1,000, etc.) provides clean drinking water for rural dwellers living in extreme poverty and builds maternity clinic for pregnant women.
