Accountability

Every rupee tracked. Every promise in writing.

How CJF India is structured, governed and held to account by the communities, partners and regulators we answer to.

Legal structure

A Section 8 company or trust with 12A and 80G registration and NITI Aayog Darpan registration, plus CSR Form 1 for CSR funds. FCRA only if and when foreign contribution is sought, with a separate designated account and strict use rules. Registration numbers will be published here as they are issued.

Financial controls

No cash without bank transfer and receipt. Procurement with three quotes above threshold. Budgets published per hub every quarter. CSR funds reported monthly, with utilisation certificates. An annual independent review before any expansion.

Safeguarding

Child safeguarding policy, the two adult rule, background verification for all staff and long term volunteers, POSH compliance and training. Reports to safeguarding@cjfindia.org are handled confidentially within 48 hours.

Grievances

A grievance number is displayed in every hub, and every complaint is answered within 7 days. Communities can raise concerns about any part of our work, including our partners.

Conflicts of interest

Dr. Rajesh Sharma also serves as Executive Director of International Business Development for Neyius. All related decisions require Advisory Circle review and a written record.

Fundraising policy

In line with the Courtney Jordan Foundation’s global policy, CJF India does not accept individual online donations at launch. We welcome volunteering, partnerships, CSR collaboration and gifts of goods.
