Your trust is our most valuable asset.
India's NGO sector has a trust problem. High-profile fund misuse scandals have made donors — rightly — cautious. Every time you donate online, you are placing faith in an institution you cannot physically verify. We take that faith seriously.
At Mahadev Maitri Foundation, transparency is not a talking point. It is embedded in our structure. We are incorporated as a Section 8 company under the Companies Act — meaning we are legally prohibited from distributing profits. Every rupee must go to our stated charitable purpose.
Our annual reports are published voluntarily — not because we must, but because we believe you deserve to know. Our director's contact is public. Our address is real. You can visit us. That openness is our strongest credential.
Six layers of verification and accountability
Each credential is independently verifiable on government portals — no need to take our word for it.
