DONATION POLICY

Dharmadhyakshya Foundation appreciates the generosity and trust of every individual who contributes to its mission. Donations help support the Foundation's objectives, including the proposed construction of Golok Dham Mandir, the promotion of Sanatan culture, the dissemination of the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, and other authorised spiritual, educational, and charitable initiatives.

​

This Donation Policy explains how contributions made through our website are received, acknowledged, and managed.

​

Purpose of Donations

 

The primary fundraising objective of the Foundation is the construction and development of Golok Dham Mandir, envisioned as a spiritual and cultural centre dedicated to Lord Shri Krishna.

​

Donations may also support other activities undertaken in accordance with the Foundation's stated objectives, including:

• Construction and development of Golok Dham Mandir.

• Promotion of the teachings and values of the Bhagavad Gita.

• Spiritual awareness programmes and the Gita Gyan Arpan Yatra.

• Educational, cultural, and community welfare initiatives.

• Other activities authorised under the Foundation's objectives.

​

Where a donation is expressly designated for a specific purpose and that designation is accepted by the Foundation, the contribution will be handled in accordance with the applicable terms and legal requirements.

​

Voluntary Contributions

 

All donations are voluntary. Donors are free to contribute according to their financial capacity, and no minimum donation is required unless expressly stated for a particular programme.

​

Donations should be made only through the official payment facilities or other authorised channels identified by Dharmadhyakshya Foundation. Donors are encouraged to verify the recipient details before completing a transaction.

​

Online Donation Process

 

The website may provide an online facility for making contributions towards Golok Dham Mandir and other Foundation initiatives.

To complete a donation, donors may be asked to provide relevant information, such as their name, contact details, donation amount, and other details necessary for payment processing or issuing a receipt.

​

Online payments may be processed through authorised third-party payment gateways or financial institutions. Transactions are subject to the applicable terms and security procedures of the relevant payment provider.

​

The Foundation does not ask donors to disclose banking passwords, card PINs, or one-time passwords through email, telephone calls, or ordinary website contact forms.

​

Donation Acknowledgements and Receipts

 

Where applicable, the Foundation will issue a donation acknowledgement or receipt based on the transaction details and information provided by the donor.

Donors should retain their payment confirmation and provide accurate information when making a contribution. If a receipt is not received or contains an error, please contact the Foundation with the relevant transaction reference.

​

A donation receipt confirms the recorded contribution but does not automatically establish eligibility for a tax deduction.

​

Tax Benefits

 

Any tax benefit associated with a donation will depend on the Foundation's valid approvals or exemptions, the nature of the contribution, and the applicable legal requirements.

​

The Foundation will make claims regarding tax-deductible donations only where the relevant approval or exemption is in force and the contribution satisfies the applicable conditions.

​

Donors should consult a qualified tax professional if they require advice about the tax treatment of their contributions.

​

Use and Management of Donations

 

The Foundation aims to manage donations responsibly and apply funds towards its stated objectives and the purposes for which contributions are accepted.

Donations may be used for eligible project-related expenses, construction planning, materials, professional services, programme delivery, administrative expenses reasonably connected with the Foundation's activities, and other authorised costs, as applicable.

​

The Foundation will maintain appropriate financial records and comply with applicable legal and accounting requirements.

​

Refunds and Payment Errors

 

Donations are generally considered final and non-refundable because they are intended to support the Foundation's objectives and activities.

However, requests involving duplicate payments, verified technical errors, unauthorised transactions, or other genuine circumstances may be reviewed in accordance with applicable law and the Foundation's Refund and Cancellation Policy.

​

If an amount has been debited from your account without successful donation confirmation, please contact the Foundation with the transaction reference before attempting another payment.

​

Please refer to the separate Refund and Cancellation Policy for details of the request procedure.

​

Donor Privacy

 

The Foundation respects donor privacy. Information collected during a donation may be used for transaction verification, receipt issuance, accounting, communication, and legal compliance.

​

Personal information will be handled in accordance with the Foundation's Privacy Policy and applicable law. Donor information will not be sold for commercial purposes.

​

Donors should review the Privacy Policy to understand how their information may be collected, used, and shared.

​

Transparency and Accountability

 

Dharmadhyakshya Foundation recognises the importance of public trust in charitable fundraising. The Foundation aims to maintain appropriate records of donations and their application, subject to applicable legal requirements.

​

Relevant organisational information and available project updates may be published on the official website to help donors understand the Foundation's work.

Any photographs, architectural illustrations, or conceptual representations of Golok Dham Mandir should be understood in accordance with their descriptions and the project's actual stage of development.

​

Fraud Prevention and Unauthorised Appeals

 

Donors are advised to make contributions only through payment channels officially authorised by Dharmadhyakshya Foundation.

The Foundation is not responsible for payments made to unauthorised individuals or accounts falsely claiming to represent the organisation, except where applicable law provides otherwise.

​

If you encounter a suspicious donation request or believe that a payment has been misdirected, please contact the Foundation promptly and notify your bank or payment provider where appropriate.

​

Changes to This Policy

 

The Foundation may revise this Donation Policy to reflect changes in its activities, fundraising arrangements, payment procedures, or applicable legal requirements.

​

The latest version will be published on this page with the updated effective date.
