Your gift buys the next meal, the next blanket, the next notebook

There is one way to give to HNP Charitable Trust that always works: pay by PhonePe or any UPI app to our trust number. This page explains how, what gifts are useful and how we thank you.

Give a hand

Give by PhonePe or any UPI app

Open your UPI app, choose the option to pay to a mobile number and send your gift to the trust number shown here. Write a short note such as “meal” or “books” if you want your gift used for a particular purpose.

Afterwards, send us a message with the time of your payment so that we can confirm it and thank you.

Pay by PhonePe or any UPI app

Send your gift to the trust number +91 97036 30893. Keep the transaction message so we can thank you and answer questions about it.

What your gift can do

We do not publish a price list, because the cost of rice, vegetables and oil changes from week to week. What we can say is this: our food service buys groceries and cooks them in very large pans, so every rupee stretches. A gift of any size goes into the next meal.

If you want to give for a particular purpose, tell us. You can give for food, for blankets and clothes, for books, for a health camp, for a children’s home or for an old age home. If a purpose is already fully funded, we will tell you and offer another.

Giving things instead of money

Many people prefer to give things. We welcome clean clothes and blankets, new or lightly used sandals, notebooks and pens, school bags, umbrellas, rice, oil and pulses. Please call before you bring them so that a volunteer can meet you.

We do not take food that has already been cooked at home, because we cannot check how it was made. We do not take medicines unless a doctor has given them for a camp.

Giving regularly

A small gift each month is worth more than a large gift once a year, because it lets us plan. A monthly gift of a few hundred rupees can cover a week of meals for a small group. If you can, set up a standing instruction in your UPI app and send us a message to say that you have done so.

You can also give on a day that matters to you: a birthday, an anniversary, the memory of a parent. Tell us the date and the reason, and we will mention it when we send the photograph.

How we confirm and thank

We reply to every message. We tell you what the gift bought and send a photograph where we have one. If you gave for a particular event, we will send you a picture from that event.

We do not call you again and again for money. If you do not want to hear from us, tell us and we will stop.

Questions

Questions about giving

If you need help, call the trust number.

Is the PhonePe number the same as the phone number?

Yes. The trust’s contact number and its PhonePe number are the same: +91 97036 30893.

Can I give from outside India?

Please write to us and we will tell you what routes are open. We do not ask you to share card or bank details on this website.

Will I get a tax receipt?

This website does not promise a tax deduction. Please write to us and ask what documents the trust can provide for your gift.

Can I give anonymously?

Yes. Tell us in your message and we will not mention your name anywhere.

Can I give a gift in someone else's name?

Yes. Tell us the name and the reason, and we will mention it when we send the photograph.

What if my payment fails?

Try again after a few minutes. If money has left your account and the payment shows as pending, call us and we will help you check.

Can a company give?

Yes. Companies and groups can sponsor a meal, a camp or an event. Write to us and we will explain how.

Gifts that are useful and gifts that are not

The most useful gifts are money, rice, oil, pulses, blankets, sandals, notebooks and bags. These go straight into the work. Gifts that are not useful include torn clothes, expired food, medicines without a doctor’s note and large items that we cannot store.

If you are not sure, call and ask. We would rather say no politely than accept a gift that we cannot use.

Giving through your workplace or school

Many people give together. A class can collect notebooks. An office can sponsor a meal. A temple or a church group can collect rice. Tell us the date and the number of people, and we will plan the day.

If you hold a fund-raising event, please tell us in advance. We can give you a short note about the trust that you can read out, and a volunteer can visit if you wish.

Keeping gifts safe

Never share your UPI PIN or a one-time password with anyone, including us. We will never ask for it. We do not collect card or bank details through this website.

If you receive a message that claims to be from the trust and asks for a PIN, do not reply. Call the trust number on this page to check.

What happens in the days after you give

A volunteer sees your payment and, if you sent a message, replies to it. If you wrote a note such as “meal” or “books”, the volunteer puts your gift towards that purpose. The gift is recorded in the trust’s book, and the next time we cook or buy, your gift is part of the money used.

If you gave for a particular event, we send you a photograph from it. If you gave generally, we send a photograph from a recent activity. Either way, you will know what your gift did.

Common mistakes to avoid when giving

Do not send money to a number that you have not checked. Compare the number on this website with the number on the trust’s posters and call to confirm. Do not give to a person who stops you on the street and says that he is from the trust.

Do not post your UPI details on social media. Do not give under pressure. A genuine charity will give you time to think.

Ways to give that cost you nothing

Tell a friend about the trust. Share one of our pages on a messaging group. Invite a doctor to a camp. Offer a hall for an event. Introduce us to a shopkeeper who might sell rice at a fair price.

These small acts bring in volunteers and gifts that we could not reach ourselves, and they cost nothing but a few minutes.

A word of thanks

Everything the trust does depends on people who give. Some give money, some give rice and some give an afternoon. Whatever you give, we are grateful, and we promise to use it with care.

Thank you for reading this page. We hope that you will give, and that you will come and see.

One last thing

Please keep this page for later. When you are ready to give, the number is on it, and a person is at the other end.

Thank you.
