Unsure of Making Donations to an NGO – Here are 5 Questions to Ask Yourself

Donating to an NGO is a noble act — but we understand your hesitation. With so many charities out there, it’s important to ensure your contribution is going to a genuine and impactful cause. Before you make that transfer, ask yourself these five simple yet powerful questions.

1. Is the NGO transparent about where your money goes?
Trust begins with transparency.
At Amma Nanna Anada Ashramam, every rupee donated is accounted for. Whether it supports the daily meals of over 600 mentally challenged orphans or contributes to the construction of the Sri Punyalingeswara Swamy Temple, our financial activities are open and documented. You deserve to know the impact of your kindness.

2. Does the NGO support a cause that deeply matters to you?
When your values align with the mission, giving feels meaningful.
We focus on mentally disabled and abandoned individuals — those forgotten by society. We offer them food, shelter, love, and dignity. If you believe that every life deserves care and compassion, then you’re already part of our mission.

3. Can you see real impact and success stories?
Photos, testimonials, and on-ground stories speak louder than numbers.
At Amma Nanna, every face has a story. From individuals once found neglected on the roadside to those now thriving with smiles and a sense of belonging, we showcase these transformations openly. We even invite our donors to visit and see the change for themselves.

4. Is the organization accessible and communicative?
Donors should be able to connect, ask questions, and even visit.
We believe in building relationships, not just receiving donations. Whether through our website, helpline, or in-person visits, we’re always open to conversations. Your questions, suggestions, and visits are welcomed and encouraged.

5. Are donations being used for sustainable change — not just temporary relief?
One-time help is good, but long-term support is powerful.
