We only support healthcare-related fundraising campaigns.
To maintain our platform's neutrality and unbiasedness, we do not hold religious or political fundraisers. We also do not support causes related to personal loans, house loans, financial debts, or business issues.

Anyone in the world can contribute to your fundraising. You can also choose to accept contributions just from Indian donors, depending on your organization's legal standing.
Please refer to the revised guidelines for transferring international funds here. Be aware that registered organisations (NGOs) can only receive foreign contributions if they have an active FCRA account.

To set up a fundraiser, the organiser must submit the following information:
Organiser details include email, phone number (ideally WhatsApp), name, and cause specifics such as goal amount, beneficiary, and fund utilisation.
Upload supporting documentation to demonstrate that the request for funds is genuine. Once the fundraiser is online, documents such as treatment estimate letters, college entrance letters, project specifications, and so on must be posted. Once the documents are uploaded, withdrawals from your fundraiser will be enabled.

Sumit foundation has many precautions in place to ensure the legitimacy of its fundraisers. The first stage of checks involves validating the government-issued ID evidence and the mobile number, followed by a call with the fundraiser's manager, who requests background information and relevant papers for the fundraising. Our team collaborates closely with organisers, recipients, funders, and a large network to ensure that fundraisers are appropriately portrayed. If suspicions are raised about a fundraiser, we investigate and request supporting documentation. If we discover that a fundraising is fraudulent or unlawful, it will be deleted and blocked

Sumit foundation is a community of people who believe in the greater good and help one another. As a result, our users monitor and flag posts that they consider to be dubious.

Despite our best efforts, we cannot guarantee the authenticity of all information provided on the fundraisers. We encourage that you only donate to fundraisers when you are confident about the cause.

Sumit foundation works hard to avoid misuse and fraud on its site. However, if you come across a fundraising that is misleading or fraudulent, please notify us immediately. You can opt to report the cause to us by clicking the 'Report this cause' button on the fundraiser page.
When reporting the reason, you must include your email address, name, and message. Please give as much information as possible in the message. Sharing reference materials (social media links, newspaper articles, or any other detail) will allow our team to conduct a more thorough investigation of the fundraiser. The screenshot below will assist you discover the part where you may report a fundraising.

NOTE: If anything isn't right, we'll work with you to prevent misuse. Report the cause. Write us on: contact@sumitfoundation.org

Once donated, funds do not instantly reach the beneficiary. Sumit foundation owns a bank account that maintains the funds. The beneficiary might request a transfer of funds as needed. To prevent cash from being misused, Sumit foundation must verify certain papers before transferring funds to the beneficiary.

Our platform uses the most secure payment encryption technology (256-bit SSL encryption, the highest in the business). We do not save any of your donors' credit card or bank account information. We take your privacy seriously and will never share your personal information with anyone. You can also donate anonymously (to both the organiser and the general public).

It is extremely tragic when a patient for whom donations have been raised passes away. When it comes to withdrawing funds in the event that the patient dies, Sumit foundation follows the protocol outlined below. What happens to the cash raised if the patient dies before treatment can begin and no monies have been deposited yet? Donors are first advised of the patient's death and that no monies have been released yet. When the patient's family and hospital confirm that there are no outstanding debts, donors will be advised of the funds available, which they can re-route to another patient or request a refund.
If they are entitled to a refund, they will receive one. The same method applies if they want their donation to go to the original patient's family/next-of-kin.

Sumit foundation does not disclose the donors' contact information according to its privacy policy. However, we do allow coordinators to post updates that are sent to all campaign donors. Please go here to learn more about updates.

Sumit foundation fundraisers can only be deleted before being evaluated by our team. Once a fundraiser has collected funds and been approved by our team, it cannot be deleted. However, these fundraisers can be kept private. Please click here to learn how to make a fundraising private.

Withdrawing money from your fundraising is a simple process. To ensure a rapid transfer of cash, follow the steps outlined below.
The few stages are as follows:
(a) Adding the recipient's bank account
(b) Requesting a financial transfer. (write us on- contact@sumitfoundation.org)

Expense documents are supporting documentation that demonstrate a need for funding. They assist Sumit foundation in determining whether or not the money are being used for the intended purpose.

They may include the following documents, as well as any other document that can indicate that an expense has been or will be incurred:
Fully paid bills, partially paid bills ,unpaid invoices, advance receipts, purchase orders, invoices etc.

(a) Medical fundraisers -
INR donations can only be withdrawn to the beneficiary's account, immediate family members of the beneficiary, or the treating hospital. USD donations can only be transferred directly to the Treating Hospital. Fund transfers will take 7-10 working days.

(b) Medical Fundraisers (For expenses already paid for) – INR donations can only be withdrawn to the beneficiary's account, immediate family members of the beneficiary, or vendors (pharmaceuticals, medical equipment purchase, etc.).
In the event of USD donations, the monies raised can only be transferred to the beneficiary's or a direct relative's account via an NGO, which can be a partnered NGO or any NGO of the beneficiary's choice. The withdrawal process would take 14 to 20 working days.
Please keep in mind that if you want to withdraw a donation in USD, you must have bills for at least that amount ready. For example, if I want to transfer $100 USD to the beneficiary's account, I must supply unique banknotes worth at least $100 USD.

Please note that our Verifications team will verify all withdrawal requests before processing them. Bills are necessary to facilitate a seamless flow of payments. Please supply bills totalling 70% of the requested amount to ensure that INR donations are processed efficiently.
Remittance of foreign funds without a valid FCRA certificate can lead to regulatory action & hence to safeguard Sumit foundation & you as a fundraiser, we can either have the foreign donations transferred to the above available options or we will have to disable the option of accepting foreign donations.

Every purchase (for example, booking tickets) or online payment must be securely handled and verified by a third-party payment processor.

These processors include banks (for net banking, IMPS, NEFT, and RTGS transactions), Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, Rupay, and others (for credit and debit card transactions), Paytm, UPI apps, and other payment wallets that charge a modest fee for this service. These fees on crowdfunding platforms are unavoidable. This is not Sumit foundation fees. These costs are paid directly to the payment processor and help make Sumit foundation a safe place to donate. Payment gateways impose fees as a percentage of the amount donated. It varies depending on the method of payment and the service provider.

For donations made in Indian rupees (Approx. in INR).
UPI apps - 0.75–2.45%
Paytm – 1.92%
Debit/credit cards – 2.33%
Net Banking - 2.51%
Amazon Pay – 2.71%

Donations received in any recipient's account may be subject to taxation, depending on your financial condition. Please see your accountant/CA for a full and thorough explanation.
