Pinkishe Foundation's audited figures, audited by Chandni Taneja and Company, Chartered Accountants.
Donations and grants grew 4.46 times in four years.
FY 2025-26 at a glance
We spent more than we received this year because we used Rs 70,37,937 received in earlier years for the work it was given for, and set aside Rs 28,30,200 of this year's income for the years ahead. The difference is the deficit.

Just
4.28%
of total expenses went on administration in FY 2025-26.
Our three trustees hold our most senior executive roles and work full time, without drawing a salary or any remuneration. So the cost of our senior leadership does not fall on the work.
Most of our team works from home, and our field staff are hired in the districts where we work. That keeps our running costs low.
The 4.28% includes every project's own administration cost, not just the head office.
In a nutshell
Most of what we raise goes where it should: to the girls and women we serve.
Every year since FY 2017-18. Open any year.

These numbers are partly hidden on purpose: contributions to the issue come only through the exchange, never by direct transfer. How to contribute
Gifts from outside India come only into our FCRA account.
Every income tax return since FY 2017-18 was filed on or before its due date. Our FCRA returns are certified by our auditor each year, with no violation reported.
Each funder's money is tracked separately in our books and spent only on the project it was given for. Our audited accounts show every project, line by line.
Zero cash policy
Each funder's money tracked separately
Accounts shown project by project
Every payment by bank transfer, no loans
Every payment goes digitally to a named bank account. We have not written a cheque in five years. Every expense needs at least two levels of approval, and larger ones need more. The Foundation has no loans.
The person who raises a request never approves it, and finance checks it independently before payment. Withdrawals from our FCRA accounts need all three trustees.
Our funders and outside bodies look at us closely, before a single rupee arrives and all through the work.
Before they funded us
Grant Thornton Bharat and Sattva Consulting
Reviewed us on behalf of Indus Towers before funding, and monitored the project.
TTC Global
Reviewed us on behalf of Flipkart Foundation before funding.
CAF and Give
CAF vetted us for its Global Charity Database. Give reviewed us for Give Gold.
NSE Social Stock Exchange
Checked us before registering us as a not-for-profit organisation.
While we work
Social impact assessment, every year
A registered social impact assessor, independent of Pinkishe, assesses our work under SEBI's Social Stock Exchange rules. Reports on request.
Project monitoring
Monitoring partners appointed by our funders: Grant Thornton Bharat and Sattva Consulting for Nari Samman, BharatCares for Dholpur.
Funders' own platforms
Where a funder asks, we report on its own platform, and it checks our data every month.
Reviewed again, every two years
CAF reviews our governance and finances. Give reviews our projects and organisation, for its Give Gold certification.
23 policies, approved by our Board of Trustees and reviewed every year. Our team is trained on them, starting with POSH and child protection.
Child protection and POCSO
Everyone has a legal duty to report a suspected offence.
POSH
An Internal Committee with a woman Presiding Officer and an external member.
Whistleblowing and grievances
Serious grievances acknowledged within 7 working days.
Consent for every photo and story
With extra care for children.
Approved by the Board of Trustees on 28 March 2026, effective 1 April 2026, reviewed every year.
Almost everyone on our team works with AI every day, and it keeps us lean. We never put the personal details of the girls and women we serve into AI tools, and a person checks everything before it goes out.
Concerns, including about child safety, can be raised confidentially at info@pinkishe.org. They go to a committee member with no conflict of interest.
