Questions about assistance or contributions?
Use the official SDF route for support applications. Donor receipts, contribution tracking and beneficiary updates appear in the secure SDF CENTRAL-connected dashboard.
Who can apply for crowdfunding support?
A person, family or institution whose approved combined financial and in-kind need exceeds ₹10,000, subject to SDF verification and approval.
Is a gateway payment immediately ready for release?
No. The payment must be confirmed, settled into SDF’s bank and reconciled before it becomes eligible for allocation and next-day NEFT consideration.
Can I contribute supplies instead of money?
Yes. Product/service pledges are handled separately from cash, with physical receipt, valuation, inventory and distribution history.
How will financial assistance reach a beneficiary?
Eligible amounts are released by an authorised Accountant exclusively using NEFT, subject to the campaign’s minimum release threshold and approved assistance ceiling.
