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 Ashram. We are appointing more agents worldwide.
We are paying them 10% commission.
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
donors also appreciate their role.
Working
with other Donors
Agents
working with other donors are retail stores, restaurants, on-line
stores, home based individuals and students.
RETAIL
STORES AND RESTAURANTS
To
become an agent owner or partner please introduce yourself and
provide your recent photo and a few photos of your store. If you have
a website please provide your URL.
HOME
BASED AGENTS / STUDENTS
Any
person 18 years or older can become an agent. Please introduce
yourself and provide your recent photo and recommendation from two
people who are business owners or professionals. If you have a
website, your URL.
ALL
AGENTS: CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME
To
be successful in this work, first you must give your own donation.
"Charity begins at home". It is not just a catchy phrase.
It has deep spiritual significance. What it means is, charity work
becomes possible only if it begins in one's own heart. If you have
the compassion you will want to do something 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 won't work.
So,
look within and see how you feel. If you feel happy and excited
about this, 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:
All
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, by check or through PayPal (see details below). If they
like to do that, ask them to give us your name and agent number.
Every week email us the list of donors who send donation to us
direct. We will pay you full commission.
Every
week, on the day specified by us for this purpose, send all
donations to us through PayPal. Keep your 10% commission. Email to us
list of donors - donor's name, email address, phone number, amount of
donation. Also email a separate list of all donors who send donation
to us direct. We will send a "Thank You" email to every
donor individually.
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. Please give to the agent only if you know the agent
personally. If you don't know the agent personally, then please send
the donation to us direct and give us the agent's name and number so
we can pay commission to the agent.
For
every donation we receive, direct or throgh an agent, we will always
send a "Thank You" email to the donor.
Please
send your donation through PayPal or mail your check to the address
given below.
