Shaagird Foundation
Our Accountability
We believe every rupee you trust us with carries a responsibility. Here's how we ensure that your support is used with care, transparency, and long-term vision.
Responsible Allocation of Donations — Percentage Distribution
A growing organization comes with ongoing responsibilities. Here is our structured framework for balancing frontline impact with institutional sustainability.
Ensuring Operational Continuity Through Your Support
To continue serving our children with care and consistency, 27% of all donations will be allocated in the current financial year (2026–2027) towards essential operational needs. This includes organizational overheads necessary for program continuity and reliable delivery.
A significant portion of this allocation goes into the development, maintenance, and security of our digital systems. Shaagird functions heavily through its digital platform—from child sponsorships to direct verification and reporting. This strengthens our infrastructure so it remains secure, accessible, and meaningful for both students and sponsors.

Gradual Reduction of Management Costs (2025 → 2033)
We are deeply committed to becoming more efficient over time. Starting next year (2026–2027), operational overhead will be reduced by 3% annually, until only 9% of funds is used for operational expenses by the year 2033. This gradual reduction reflects our enduring commitment to maximizing the impact of your donations.

We understand that trust is paramount and we don't take it lightly. To honour that trust, we are committed to complete transparency across all our operations.
