Agents to Solicit Donations

________________________

 
Working with other Donors

 What we are doing here is no small task. It will require hugh sums of money continuously for years. To raise this kind of money requires unusual imagination and efforts. This kind of money cannot be raised by common fund raising methods.

We have appointed agents in some cities to solicit and accept donations for Mata Annapurna Ashrams and Schools. We are appointing more agents worldwide. We are paying them 10% commission plus we are paying 5% over-ride commission to agents who form their own teams of ten or more agents.

We are operating worldwide. We cannot reach everyone everywhere. The agents provide a very vital service of contacting people, talking to them about our work, getting their support, staying in regular contact with them, keeping them informed and involving them in our work. The agents fully deserve the 10% commission they are paid. The senior agents fully deserve the 5% over-ride for providing guidance and supervision to their team of agents. The donors also appreciate the agents' role.

Working with other Donors

 Agents working with other donors are music/video stores, other retail stores, on-line stores, home based individuals and students.

 
TO BE AN AGENT

 To become an agent, first you must understand this. This is not a part-time job or a side business. If you get into this for the sole purpose of earning some income, it will not work.

This is an involvement in charity work. The charity work is to feed and educate poor children in India, children who are hungry and helpless, children who never see the face of a school, children who will have no future without proper education. The first and foremost requirement for this involvement is compassion in your heart for these helpless children. With compassion, you also need to be actively involved in that work. If you have these two things, then people will support your efforts. As you make more efforts you will be able to raise more funds and help more children and in the process of helping the children, your personal income will keep growing.

In this troubled world, in this "Kalyug", people are doing whatnot to make money.Here you can make money by doing "punya karma".

  
SEVERAL SOURCES OF INCOME

We will provide guidance and support at every step.

  (1) Solicit / accept donations to feed and educate poor children. Earn 10% commission.

(2) Solicit / accept donations for giving daily prizes for Mantra Jaap in schools and at home, weekly prizes for Mantra Jaap in groups and for Shiva Puja and Yagna. See this page "Combining Spiritual Effort and Material Effort". Earn 10% commission.

(3) Solicit / accept donations for giving musical instruments and other items to schools and pathshalas. Earn 10% commission.

(4) Solicit and accept sponsorships of Bhajans, Dhoon, Mantra Jaap and Hanuman Chalisa in Audio CDs and DVDs. See "Sponsors - Donors" page. Earn 10% commission.

(5) Senior Agents who form their own groups of 10 or more agents (maximum 100) will earn 10% on their personal collection plus 5% on total collection of their group. This is not network marketing. You get nothing if your agents break off from you and form their own groups.

(6) Make copies of "Bhajan-no Vepar" audio CDs and DVDs.
Distribute FREE or SELL.

STAY INVOLVED IN CHARITY WORK

 We would prefer that every agent get personally involved and stay involved in helping poor children. You can do this by joining a "Mandal" in your local area or by forming your own "Mandal". Please see details on this page:
"Ek Lakh Mandal - Sou Lakh Balak".

Once you do this and as long as you stay involved we will let you use 50% of your collection (to feed and educate poor children) for this purpose.

 
TO BECOME AN AGENT
A DONATION IS REQUIRED

 
A donation of US $100 is required if you want to be an agent.

If you want to be a Senior Agent and form your own group of agents, a donation of US $200 is required. You will start earning 5% over-ride as soon as you have one agent on your team. But you must build your team of 10 or more agents as soon as possible.

Why this donation is necessary

 "Charity begins at home". This is not just a catchy phrase. It has deep spiritual significance. What it means is this: Charity work becomes possible only if it begins in one's own heart. If you have compassion in your heart you will start doing whatever you can on your own before you ask anyone to join you. If you don't have that in your heart charity work is not possible. Here, if your heart doesn't make you give the first donation and you ask others to give, it will not work.

So, look within and see how you feel. If you feel happy and excited, introduce yourself and send in your first donation. If you don't feel happy and excited don't get involved. You are not ready for charity work. Wait till it begins in your heart.

We are working like this:

 When a donor gives you any donation you are required to send it to us immediately, in presence of the donor. You are required to do this no matter how small or large the donation amount is. Send it to us through PayPal. If you are at donor's home or office do it from donor's computer or let the donor send it to us. If the donor does not have internet access and gives you the money, you are required to send it to us as soon as you reach your home or office.

Does this mean you will have to log on PayPal and send us the money several times everyday? YES, that is exactly what it means. Don't wait till the end of the day. Send it as soon as you receive it.

Agents must keep a register of donors. Record every donation however small with donor's name, email address and phone number. Give receipt for every donation however small. Keep the register for 6 months.

Explain to every donor that if they like, they can send the donation to us direct, through PayPal (see details below). If they like to do that, ask them to give us your name and agent number. Every day email us the list of donors who send donation to us direct. We will pay you full commission.

We will send you your commission every week.

To the donors we say this: 

There are many good people in this world and a few bad ones. We cannot stop doing good for fear of a few bad people. Everyone please understand this: There is a risk that some unauthorized people may collect donations in our name and also the risk that some authorized agents may not send us all the donation they collect. Therefore, we are not responsible for any money you give to any agent until we receive it. All agents are required to send us the donation amount immediately, in your presence. Please see that they do that. Please give your donation to the agent only if you know the agent personally. Do not give any donation to any agent if you don't know the agent personally.

If you like to send it to us direct, please send it through PayPal. Please send it to:
building-schools@mata-annapurna-ashram.org

In message space, please give your name, email and city and country of current residence.

THANK YOU.
