India has 3.3 million NGOs. Very few deserve your trust.
The unfortunate reality is that a significant portion of registered NGOs in India are shells — created for tax advantages, CSR absorption, or outright fraud. High-profile scandals have created a climate of donor scepticism that legitimate NGOs must overcome every day.
Mahadev Maitri Foundation was built with accountability as a foundational principle — not an afterthought. Before we enrolled a single child, we completed our incorporation, obtained our tax registrations, and opened our financial records to public scrutiny. That's the order in which we believe these things should happen.
Trust at MMF is not a marketing claim. It is a six-layer, independently verifiable architecture that you can check before you donate — and after. We actively encourage donors to verify each credential on the relevant government portal.
