The Times of India has decided to institute ‘The
Times of India Social Impact Awards’ to honor wonderful and amazing
people and organizations who have been battling enormous odds and
making great personal sacrifices so that the lives of disadvantaged
people are changed for the better. These Awards will help focus
greater attention on five critical spheres: education, healthcare,
livelihood, environment and advocacy /empowerment.
There will be
three awards in each of the five spheres – a NGO, a
corporate-backed organization and a government body at the state or
district level. There will also be a Lifetime Achievement Award and
a Global Impact Award.
We have roped in GiveIndia, Dasra and Guidestar India as process
partners in this endeavor. They will do the initial short listing of
organizations for our jury members to then take a call on.
Click on the link for more details.
We encourage credible organizations to send in applications
for the awards by logging on to
www.timessocialawards.com.
Last date
for applications: 7th July 2011.
The awards will culminate in a final award ceremony which is
scheduled for Sunday, October 2nd 2011.

Mandatory annual report disclosures |
You must be busy with the financial audit for 2010-2011 & we thought
this is the perfect time to remind you to not to forgot to include
the Annual Report Disclosures. The list of mandatory disclosures is
as given below:
1. Abridged financials: Balance Sheet, Income & Expenditure,
Receipts & Payments Account or Fund Flow Statement
2. The salary and benefits of the NGO Head, the highest paid staff
member and the lowest paid staff member.
3. Names of Board members and their position on the board.
4. All remuneration and reimbursements to Board members. Even if
there is ‘zero’ remuneration it must be placed on record.
5. Information on the objectives of the organization and a
description of the main activities of the year.
6. A Review of progress and results achieved in the year.
7. The distribution of staff according to salary levels and gender
break up.
8. Total cost of international travel by all personnel (including
volunteers) & Board Members– segregating those incurred on
organizational expense and those that were sponsored, along with the
name and designation of the person (s) who travelled, and the
purpose (s) of travel. Even if there is no travel it will be placed
on record.
9. Total cost of national travel by all personnel (including
volunteers) & Board Members–. Even if there is no travel it will be
placed on record.
Our Annual Report is at the printer & will be mailed to you in the
next few weeks. In the meantime you can

Don't miss out on the benefits of General
and Corpus fund donations |
We have noticed that many of you have not activated your
Corpus/General funds on the GiveIndia site. While these options are
not very popular with donors (i.e. compared to donation options
which are used for a specific purpose), activating your
corpus/general fund does offer its own benefits. These include:
1. Many a times, our donors donate directly to NGOs - without
specifying a particular donation option that they would like their
funds to be used for. In such cases, we need to offer them a choice
of all NGOs which have their Corpus/General Fund activated only - so
that we are able to process their donation easily.
In July, the first 10 NGOs to get General Fund activated with us,
are each receiving a donation of Rs. 6,000 from these kind of
donors. The next such allocation when it happens will happen to the
next 10 NGOs. You could be one of them!
2. At the end of the year, we need to disburse unallocated funds
that we have accumulated through the year ( mainly from Payroll
Givers). Again, this gets distributed amongst NGOs that have
Corpus/General funds on GiveIndia.
Also, donors who do not have enough funds to make a regular donation
option (minimum Rs. 500) but would yet like to make one opt for the
Corpus/General fund option (minimum Rs. 250). If you would like to
get your Corpus/General Fund option up on the GiveIndia site, please
fill out this feedback template and send it across to
feedbacksupport@giveindia.org.

Top 10 NGOs funds disbursement (in INR) |
During the course of our random
verification visits of NGOs & checking of feedback reports we are
encountering many situations where the reality on the ground
doesn't match with the information provided in the Donation Options
form B. We are now trying to close these gaps. We have sent a
DO Form to 123 Partner NGOs in June and will be reaching out to
all remaining partner NGOs in the next few weeks. We request your
cooperation in filling this and mailing it back to us at the
earliest. |
