Donations are voluntary
All donations to Arunachala Shiva Foundation are voluntary gifts used for the foundation’s charitable work: wellness camps, awareness drives, scholarships, annadanam and cultural programs.
How to give
You can give by UPI (UPI ID Vyapar.172928562929@hdfcbank), by scanning our QR code, or by bank transfer to our HDFC Bank account. Full details are on the Donate page. We do not ask for card numbers, PINs or OTPs, and our volunteers will never ask for them.
Acknowledgement and receipts
Send your name, amount, date and UPI reference or UTR number on WhatsApp and we will send an acknowledgement. Tell us if you need a receipt for tax purposes, and we will confirm what we can issue.
Giving to a specific program
You may ask for your donation to support one program. We will use it for that program where possible; if the program has enough funds, we use it for the nearest related work.
Refunds
Donations are not normally refundable. We will refund a donation that was made by mistake, such as a duplicate payment or a wrong amount, if you tell us within 7 days with the transaction reference.
Approved refunds go back to the same bank account or UPI ID within 15 working days. Bank or UPI charges, if any, are not refunded.
Camp fees
Our wellness camps are free for participants. If a batch includes an optional paid item, we tell you the amount and refund terms before you register.
