Why Companies Should Support Non-Profits Focused on Child Heart Treatment?

In India, over 200,000 children are estimated to be born with congenital heart defect (CHD) every year. About one-fifth of these suffer from critical heart disease requiring early intervention to remain alive. The average cost of the treatment for a child varies between Rs 1 lakh to 5 lakhs depending on the type of CHD defect. With government hospitals flooded, treatment at private hospitals is out of reach for a lot of families coming from economically weaker backgrounds. Donation for child heart treatment helps non-profits to support the treatment of critically ill children.

Many NGOs have been working to support the treatment costs of such families that are unable to bear the burden of the cost of treatment. One such NGO is Genesis Foundation. We provide financial aid to children born with congenital heart defects that are not able to afford the treatment. At our foundation, all the individual donations go towards supporting little hearts. Companies can support Genesis Foundation and help change the future for children with congenital heart defects.

Here are some of the reasons why companies should support non-profits like Genesis Foundation that are focused on Child Heart Treatment:

1. Funds received from corporate donations to non-profits are usually larger than what one receives through individual donations, enabling us to support a larger number of children who have a congenital heart defect, and in turn saving many more lives. The more the children that are saved the greater is the impact in reducing child mortality.
2. Building awareness is the first step to a timely diagnosis and a timely treatment. Many organisations working in the realm of congenital heart disease also need to undertake substantive work especially at the grassroot level where awareness is limited. Corporate donations to non-profits help us getting the necessary funds to undertake activities such as screening camps that aim at building awareness and timely intervention of the disease.
3. NGOs are offices at the end of the day working for a mission which is not to generate profit. They employ professionals who are skilled and experienced to carry out the necessary programmes. In addition, there are many overheads costs that need to be covered for these organisations to function effectively. Corporate donations to non-profits help in supporting a certain percentage of this cost to ensure better quality of output.
