Noolaham Foundation is a non-profit organization. While Noolaham Foundation's Board of Directors, Governance Board and many other teams mostly consist of volunteers, we have employed a number of staff members to maintain our Programs and carry out the Projects. We also have equipment, communication, hosting, software, and other operating expenses.

To pay these expenses, we receive donations from

  • Charitable Foundations and other institutions

Funds are received as

  • General funding or
  • Project funding

Noolaham Foundation has a transparent accounting mechanism which by every cent is accounted for and reported to the stakeholders and public through this website. We always strive to efficiently utilize our funds. The Regulatory Board which also functions as the Resource Mobilization Team is responsible for raising funds for Programs, projects and activities. Accounting related activities such as keeping records to prepare financial statements are managed by our Finance and Administrative Officer.

Fundraising

Various individuals and institutions contribute monetary donations towards Noolaham Foundation's activities. Organizations such as literary associations, and temples have donated towards the Foundation's projects. Many individuals have donated in memory of their loved ones as well. We are introducing a Noolaham Sponsorship program, where we encourage individuals and organizations to contribute in an on-going basis.

We also receive funding from larger institutions for specific projects or for the Foundation's ongoing programs. Please see Benefactors page for the list of some of the contributors.
