Hope House doesn't have adequate resources to spend to obtain a secure platform for fundraising. By partnering with GiveIndia, they are able to provide a secure platform to our donors for a small fee. Also, GiveIndia offers lot of matching prizes to small NGO's like the Hope House which we try to win as many as we possibly can win.
Only you know your network better so it would hard for us to suggest but as a ball park figure you can try to raise Rs. 5000 and edit it as and when you figure that you can raise or less depending on the campaigning date. Remember this: Although you have a campaign of your own, you will still be showing the Hope House page but you will be showing your name as though you created it.
Hope House is a registered charitable organization working for the children in need of care and protection in three districts (Vellore, Ranipet and Thirupathur) in the state of Tamilnadu. We have projects under two broad categories namelyl 'intstitutional care' and 'non-institutional care'. You're advised to visit the 'Projects' link (or any other link for any other information pertaining to our organization) on this site to get to know more about our work.
