5 Reasons to donate to Genesis Foundation and Save Tax (Save a Life)

It’s March again!
Named after the Roman god of war – Mars, this month is considered the beginning of Spring in many parts of the world. And also remembered for The Ides of March, which became synonymous with the assassination of Julius Caesar.

But in India, March is synonymous with tax-saving and everyone is looking for ways to save tax. It’s possible through education loan, tuition fees for self and children, insurance, premium of self or spouse or children, treatment of specified diseases or medical treatment of handicapped dependents. A lot of other employer perks and benefits are dependent on each organization. Now if you’ve already exhausted the above options, the next best way is through donation tax exemption. As the saying goes, ‘no act of kindness, no matter how small is ever wasted’, you can save tax under section 80G of the Income Tax Act, through NGO donation tax exemption.

Add to that, evidence shows that helping others can have a positive impact on our own mental health and well-being. Helping others, especially those who are less fortunate than yourself, can help to put things into perspective and make you feel more positive. There is some evidence that being aware of your own acts of kindness, as well as the things you are grateful for, can increase feelings of happiness, optimism, and satisfaction.

But it’s extremely important to find the right place to make your donations, so that they can help you create the desired impact, while giving you the benefit of donation tax exemption.
