Donation FAQs
Answers before you give
Is my donation to FTS tax-deductible?
Yes. Friends of Tribals Society is registered under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act. Your 80G receipt is generated automatically and emailed to you as soon as your payment succeeds.
What does my money actually fund?
Donations fund Ekal Vidyalayas — one-teacher schools in tribal villages. ₹22,000 covers a full school for one year: the teacher's honorarium, teaching materials and local supervision. ₹1,500 covers one child's education for a year.
What is Sevapatra?
Sevapatra is FTS's monthly giving program. A fixed amount is debited automatically each month and you receive a consolidated 80G receipt. You can pause or cancel anytime.
Can I see the school my donation supports?
Yes — through Vanyatra, our village visit program, donors travel to Ekal villages and see the schools at work. Many of our lifelong supporters started with a single Vanyatra.
How do I know FTS is credible?
FTS received the Gandhi Peace Prize 2017, presented by the President of India. We have been registered since 1989 (S/62039, West Bengal), publish audited annual reports, and hold 80G, FCRA and CSR-1 registrations.
