Some of the Major task highlight for the month of Jan 2010 for Sankalp Finance.
Income tax exemption
We had applied for the 12A registration and 80G certification for the tax Exemption benefit to our donor. We are happy to inform that Sankalp is now 80G certified. All the donor can enjoy tax benefit on donation made to Sankalp.
Rakta Kranti Companies: Two companies have yet again helped in spreading the message of voluntary blood donation.
Having organized a drive for the first time @ HSBC, the response by the employees was very good. It was conducted over a period of two days where about 196 units were collected. Both the days the drive went on in a well organized manner.
In the first test that RK Colleges was put through after Sankalp expanded to Karnataka state wide organization. With Shimoga, Davangere, Mysore, Bellary, Kolar, Dharwad being the target districts, variation (in terms of even climate and Voluntary Blood Donation concepts) and lessons learnt were different.
The State wide helpline 94800 44444 is now functioning and stabilized to a great extent. After attaining a satisfactory level of stability with the helpline and all the blood banks across the state which are connected to it, the helpline will now be inaugurated on 15th August. This is our gift to the people of Karnataka from all the volunteers of Sankalp India Foundation. :)
