What India Partners does

India Partners is a US-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit charity (EIN #93-1164757) headquartered in Eugene, Oregon, operating programs that address extreme poverty in India. Founded in 1984 around a child sponsorship program and officially incorporated in 1994, the organization runs an ecosystem of roughly twenty charitable programs delivered through an in-country field network of schools, safe houses, tailoring centers, medical centers, and vocational training facilities. Programmatic verticals include child and widow sponsorship ($39/month recurring), Days of Safety and anti-trafficking rescue/care, safe-water infrastructure for remote villages, women-empowerment via a six-month tailoring school plus sewing-machine graduation, vocational and computer-skills training for people with disabilities (300+ trained per the organization), livestock-based income programs (chickens, goats, cow), slum-school education, a Himalayan school-building initiative, emergency-relief aid, and seasonal winter blankets.

The underlying technology stack is intentionally lean: a Givecloud-powered donation website with recurring-billing, a gift-catalog marketplace, social-login account creation, and supporting marketing channels (email, Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, Vimeo). The organization is ECFA-accredited and a member of the Accord Network, and is enrolled in the Combined Federal Campaign (#11072), state employee campaigns, and workplace giving programs. India Partners' revenue model is direct-to-consumer charitable giving — one-time gifts, recurring monthly sponsorships, and gift-catalog purchases by US individual donors (with a recent additions of planned giving and stock/crypto contributions). Approximately 10 employees operate the entity, while program delivery is handled by field partners in India.
