AT THE START
In 2000, while on a visit to Kolkata, Shreya & i realised that instead of questioning how and why of poverty, we could actually do something constructive about the conditions the unfortunates live in.
We started Isonfund in the hope that together with our friends, we will be able to offer a helping hand to those who most needed it.
Isonfund is a non-profit charitable Trust registered in India. We seek to employ every Dollar towards our projects.
Health, Education and Woman & Child assitance are our main focus.
The fact is, we will not change the world. The complicated web of real politik will shape real-life conditions. However, we need not be spectators and arm chair critics.
We can alleviate the down-trodden, while tiny in the larger scheme but life changing to those we can reach.
We helped a little tot with a hole in her heart by providing funding for multiple critical operations. She survived and lives a healthy life. A boy from Sunderban (forested rural area) is now a teacher at a city college, a brother works in a Tech MNC while his sister is a certified nurse.
These are examples of lives we have touched. And damned proud of it too!
But we cannot do it alone. Our funding comes from YOU. Every penny is used as intended, In Service Of the Needy (ISON Fund).
In return, I promise you this...At the end of our day, we will rest knowing...we did something worthwhile.
Please reach out to us to participate.

FUND SPENDING
FUND RAISING
5 friends had gathered at the QuePasa Bar at Emerald Hill in Singapore sometime in April 2000. The new century had just begun. Hopes, Fears and the Dotcom crash were topics of discussion.
I related the experience in Kolkata where Shreya & i had come upon a sleeping child on the pavement. This initiated the first funds. Each one of us decided to put up $150 to kick start a project to help those who needed it.
Since then, the message has spread through word of mouth.
All funds come from friends. The money is deposited into Isonfund's Indian Bank account which has FCRA approval (Indian Foreign Contributions Regulations Act).
Every donation is recorded and accounted for by our accountant and the audited accounts are submitted anually to the Indian Min of Home Affairs.
Without your donation and support, this journey cannot progress. No donation is too small.
All funds are used to finance our projects.
Overheads are minimal as we do not have salaries, rentals or expenditures that burden larger organisations.
The work done is all voluntary;
At the project end, funds are distributed to the doctor who attends the clinic, the pharmacy which provides the medicine and the vendors who provide material against receipts.
Cash assistance is not our normal procedure.
All our projects require the voluntary participation of the society we are trying to assist.
