YOUR CAMPAIGNS – FAQ’S
Here are some FAQ’s that will help you understand Your Campaign and its concept
What kind of charges are part of the operational costs of a program. • There are costs like Credit Card processing charges, Wire Transfer charges and the actual cost of the project which may include cost of
material, transportation and distribution costs etc.
What kind of support does AJ provide. • AJ can execute the whole project or parts of the project as agreed prior to the start of the project. In many cases AJ has asked volunteers
to participate in the actual donation, help in identifying suppliers, leveraged their Bulk purchase capability to get good pricing with vendors and above all bring a transparent structure to any and all projects.
Will you transfer the money to my relative who will execute the whole project. • Sorry we cannot transfer funds to Individuals but we can assign a volunteer to make payments to the vendors at the time of purchasing
after verifying that there are no excessive charges being levied by the Vendors.
We can get a lower price on items without bills, is it ok. • Sorry being a socially responsible organization AJ will ask for Bills, wherever possible, and pay any applicable taxes for any purchases
made.
What if AJ does not have volunteers in the area, my project is being executed. • When the project is set up and agreed to AJ officer’s will explain how the project will be executed and how it will be documented and in
cases where a Volunteer is not available, AJ will find other ways to document the program. In many cases our donors have turned into Volunteers.
We welcome any suggestions and will do our very best to help you achieve your goal.
