Online donations are an easy and effective way to send money to charitable trusts in India. However, when making any type of donation or payment online, it is critical to check three important factors to make sure your payment and financial information is secure.
Authentic Website
Before making an online charity donation in India, check to make sure you are on the authentic website for the charitable trust. Unfortunately, scammers online often create websites that have very similar URLs to trusted charities and trick people into putting their credit card information on these false websites.
Always make sure the URL is accurate and that the website is secure. Avoid going to any donation website through a link provided in a text or email message to eliminate this potential problem.
Trusted Charity
Take a few minutes to review the background information, reporting, and the programmes offered by the charity. Some of the best trusts allow you to choose the programme for your online charity donation, allowing you to support a specific cause or project.
Single or Monthly Donation
While any charitable trust will appreciate a single online charity donation, setting up a monthly donation provides the charity with predictable and steady funding. This is very helpful in managing and funding various projects throughout the year.
Often, charitable trusts respond to emergency situations, and monthly donations help to have a reserve of funds to be able to provide support in the case of natural disasters, crisis events, or unforeseen issues such as the recent pandemic.
The Ratna Nidhi Charitable Trust appreciates both small and large online charity donations, whether as a one-time contribution or a monthly commitment. To learn more, visit us online or check out our YouTube channel for additional details.
