The Answers to All Your Questions

Donating for rescued and recovering animals is a very generous gesture of contribution. We have compiled a list of questions our donors frequently ask. Hope this helps you too:

What are the various modes of donation I can use?

You may donate to us via Net banking, Credit card, Debit card and cheques in India. From outside of India, you may donate using your foreign issued cards and PayPal.

How do I know my donations are safe & will go towards animal care?

Sarvoham is a registered non-government organization in India (license no. BTM-04-00027/2017-18) and the United States of America (EIN 30-1363456). We are authorised to generate an 80G receipt in India and 501(c)(3) receipt in the US.

To assess our credibility, you may visit our shelter any day between 11am - 4pm. No prior intimation is necessary before your visit. We request you to come and witness what difference your donations are making and how they are being utilized.

We also very frequently share our work on our Instagram and Facebook pages. You may search for “Sarvoham Animal Foundation” and stay updated with how we are using your precious donations.

We must mention that all transactions made via our website are secure SSL encrypted and are completely safe.

Rest assured, we fulfil the responsibility of serving animals with utmost sincerity and ethical uprightness.

How do I know Sarvoham is deserving of my funds?

We know it takes a lot of trust to endow someone with your precious resources. Rest assured, each and every penny of the donated amount will go towards helping vulnerable street animals and our Instagram account and our website page is a good channel to stay updated about the manner in which we are utilizing your donations.

Each and every miraculous recovery you see there is a testament of your generosity and our sincerity towards helping animals. If you need more information about how we help animals with the funds you donated, please visit the “What we do” and “Rescue stories” pages of our website.

What share of the donations go towards animal help?

100 percent of your donation amount goes towards animal help. Directly it will be utilized for food and medical care, and indirectly it will be used for rent, salaries, fuel, electricity, and maintenance. But all the amount we receive goes towards reducing animal suffering and helping animals recover from whatever ailment or injury they are suffering from.
