Trust is the currency of any charity. We treat it as seriously as the money itself.
Donors in the USA and India are trusting strangers with their generosity from thousands of miles away. The least we can do is be specific, honest and accountable about every part of it. This page explains how.
Where the money goes
Project Gyan operates on a 100%-to-the-field principle for donations: contributions fund the program, not overhead. Indicative allocation:
Who is accountable
Project Gyan is delivered in partnership with the Dr. Amrit Lal Ishrat Memorial Society, an established educational society that operates the DALIMSS Sunbeam Group of Schools — serving 50,000+ students across Varanasi with a four-decade record. This means funds are administered through a real, accountable institution on the ground, not an informal arrangement.
What we publish
- The campaign goal and amount raised, kept current.
- Concrete outcomes — devices delivered, teachers appointed, students reached.
- Photos and updates from the field, not stock imagery.
- Press coverage so our claims can be independently checked — see Press.
How donations are handled
Online gifts are processed through our public GoFundMe campaign, which provides its own donor receipts and protection. Offline gifts (cheque / bank transfer, including INR for Indian donors) are arranged directly — see our Donation & Refund Policy.
