Service Delivery Policy
Bangosamaj Welfare Foundation is a non-profit organization and does not sell physical products via the website. This policy explains how we deliver services related to our welfare programs.
Delivery of Services
Our services (Skill Development, Education Support, Health Camps) are delivered in-person at designated centers or locations in Rajasthan and other areas. Administrative support and documentation are handled electronically or via post.
Geographic Coverage
Our primary operations are in Jhalawar, Rajasthan, with initiatives expanding to other regions in India.
Document Transmission
Receipts for donations and certificates for volunteers/trainees are sent via email or post. Timelines vary based on the specific program.
Tracking
We maintain records of all beneficiaries and donations. Donors will receive confirmation emails.
No Charges
We do not charge delivery fees for donation receipts or program-related documentation.
No Delivery Charges
As a non-profit charitable organization: No Charges to Beneficiaries - all program materials, resources, and supplies provided completely free of charge to beneficiaries; no delivery fees, handling charges, or shipping costs imposed on recipients; our mission is to support underprivileged communities without financial barriers; transportation to distribution points organized by foundation without cost to beneficiaries. Operational Funding - delivery and distribution costs covered through: foundation operational budget funded by general donations, specific grants earmarked for program logistics, cost allocations within project budgets, in-kind support from logistics partners or volunteers, and government grants that allow operational cost coverage. Cost Management - we operate efficiently to minimize logistics costs and maximize resources for direct beneficiary impact; bulk transportation, combined distributions, and volunteer support reduce expenses; partner organizations may share logistics costs for collaborative programs; route optimization and scheduling ensure cost-effective delivery planning. Donor Considerations - donors contributing in-kind items generally responsible for delivery to our office/facility or designated collection point; for large in-kind donations, we may arrange pickup at donor expense or shared cost; transportation costs for donated items can be claimed as part of donation for tax purposes where applicable; donors may specifically contribute toward logistics costs if they wish to support distribution infrastructure. Transparency - logistics and distribution costs transparently reported in financial statements; donors can see how funds allocated to operations enable effective program delivery; efficiency metrics (cost per beneficiary reached) tracked and optimized; fundraising materials clearly distinguish between program costs and administrative/logistics costs.
Damaged or Incorrect Items
Our process for handling damaged materials or distribution errors: Quality Checks - all donations and purchased items inspected upon receipt for quality, safety, and usability; damaged, expired (medicines, food), or unsuitable items not accepted or distributed; program materials reviewed to ensure appropriateness for target beneficiary age/skill level; repacking or refurbishing conducted when possible to make items distribution-ready. Reporting Damaged Items - beneficiaries receiving damaged items should report immediately to program coordinator or our office; contact: geswfoundation@gmail.com or call +91 8951715545 within 7 days of receipt; provide details: item description, nature of damage, distribution date/location, beneficiary name/ID; photos helpful for assessment if possible. Replacement Process - verified damaged items replaced at no cost to beneficiary when replacement inventory available; replacement arranged through next distribution cycle or special delivery if urgent; if item no longer available, equivalent alternative offered based on availability; replacement timeline typically 15-30 days depending on item type and availability. Incorrect Item Distribution - if beneficiary receives wrong items (intended for different program or beneficiary), contact us immediately; we will arrange correct item delivery and retrieve incorrect items if appropriate; errors due to our administrative mistakes corrected promptly at no cost to beneficiary; beneficiaries should not feel embarrassed or hesitant to report errors—we appreciate feedback. Limitations - we cannot replace items damaged after distribution due to beneficiary handling or usage; natural wear and tear from proper use not covered by replacement policy; items distributed as-is (used donations in good condition) have limited replacement guarantees; intentional damage, misuse, or selling of program materials violates program terms and may affect future eligibility.
Returns and Exchanges
Policy regarding returns or exchanges: General Non-Return Policy - program materials distributed to beneficiaries generally cannot be returned once received; resources are allocated based on assessed need and intended for beneficiary use and retention; return of used or opened items not accepted for hygiene, safety, and practicality reasons; beneficiaries selecting or accepting items considered final unless exceptional circumstances. Exceptions for Returns - damaged or defective items as described in previous section; items significantly different from what was described during distribution; duplicate distributions where beneficiary mistakenly received same item twice; beneficiary circumstances changed drastically preventing item use (e.g., relocation, health issues); return requests must be made within 7-14 days of receipt with valid reason. Exchange Possibilities - if beneficiary received item unsuitable for their specific needs (wrong size clothing, inappropriate educational level materials), exchange may be possible subject to availability; exchanges facilitated during ongoing program sessions or next scheduled distributions; one-for-one exchanges only; cannot exchange for different item types or multiple items; beneficiary must return original item in unused, good condition for exchange to be processed. Procedure - contact program coordinator or email geswfoundation@gmail.com with request details; explain reason for return/exchange, item details, and distribution date; coordinate with staff to arrange return drop-off or exchange scheduling; receive acknowledgment and confirmation of approved return/exchange. Restrictions - food items, medicines, hygiene products cannot be returned once distributed; personalized or customized items cannot be returned or exchanged; items distributed more than 30 days prior generally not eligible for return/exchange; educational materials after exam/assessment periods or program completion cannot be returned.
Lost or Undelivered Items
Handling situations where distributed items don't reach intended beneficiaries: Delivery Confirmation - beneficiary signature or thumbprint obtained for all direct distributions; partner organization acknowledgment for items distributed through collaborators; photographic documentation of distribution events; digital records linking beneficiaries to received items in database. Lost in Transit - for items transported to remote areas or through partners, occasional losses may occur; if beneficiary claims non-receipt despite distribution records, investigation conducted; partner organizations queried, transportation records reviewed, witnesses consulted; benefit of doubt given to beneficiary in ambiguous situations when feasible. Replacement Process - if item conclusively lost during our transportation/distribution process before reaching beneficiary, replacement provided when inventory allows; beneficiary not penalized for losses during foundation-controlled logistics; replacement timeline depends on item availability and distribution schedules; high-value items may require additional verification before replacement. Beneficiary Responsibility - once items properly delivered and acknowledged by beneficiary, responsibility for safekeeping transfers to recipient; loss, theft, or damage after proper delivery not covered by replacement policy; beneficiaries advised during distribution about proper storage and care of items; security measures recommended especially for valuable items like electronic devices. Fraud Prevention - patterns of multiple loss claims from same beneficiaries investigated; false claims of non-delivery for already received items violate program ethics; verified fraudulent claims may result in program eligibility suspension; community coordinator verification helps prevent and detect fraudulent loss claims. Postal Delivery Issues - for documents or items sent via post (tax receipts, certificates), India Post tracking used when available; if item not received within 30 days, duplicate issuance arranged; beneficiaries should update address information to prevent delivery failures. Reporting Lost Items - beneficiaries should report non-receipt within 15 days of expected delivery date; contact geswfoundation@gmail.com or call +91 8951715545 with details: expected item, distribution date/location, beneficiary ID; we will investigate and respond within 7-10 business days with findings and next steps.
Special Circumstances
Handling unique situations: Emergency and Disaster Relief - accelerated distribution timelines for disaster relief supplies; flexible protocols allowing rapid deployment without standard waiting periods; collaboration with government disaster management agencies and other NGOs; prioritization of emergency items (food, water, medical supplies, shelter materials) over routine program materials; documentation requirements relaxed during crisis response for faster distribution; post-disaster follow-up for additional needs assessment and support. Health Crises and Pandemics - enhanced hygiene and safety protocols for distribution during disease outbreaks; contactless distribution methods when social distancing required; increased focus on health, hygiene, and sanitation supplies; partnerships with health authorities for coordinated response; staff and volunteer safety prioritized with protective equipment and protocols. Beneficiaries with Disabilities - accommodations made for beneficiaries with mobility limitations, visual impairments, or other disabilities; home delivery arranged when beneficiaries cannot travel to distribution points; assistive devices or modified materials provided based on specific needs; family members or caregivers may receive items on beneficiary behalf with proper authorization; distribution locations made accessible when possible. Seasonal and Agricultural Distributions - agricultural inputs (seeds, tools, fertilizers) distributed aligned with planting seasons; school materials distributed at beginning of academic year; winter clothing or seasonal items distributed with appropriate timing; festival-related distributions coordinated with cultural calendars; harvest season considerations for programs targeting farming communities. Confidentiality and Dignity - sensitive distributions (health products, dignity kits, financial assistance) handled discreetly; private distribution spaces provided when beneficiaries may feel stigmatized; unmarked packaging for items that could invite social judgment; respect for cultural sensitivities regarding certain types of items or distribution methods.
