New donation guidelines

The Donation Channeling Group set up by the Foundation Office clarified a new procedure regarding donations for Auroville projects. For the registration of projects for which donations are already being received or for which donations are proposed to be raised, an on-line Project Registration Form (PRF) has been designed which needs to be uploaded on a designated portal. 

Projects seeking donations for the first time have to register before starting the process of fundraising (contacting potential donors), including approaching the AVIs. Only registered projects will be able to access the donation website(s). Approvals of registrations will normally be done within seven working days of submission. Rejection will be done only after discussion with the project holders and with the FAMC.
