Plain answers

Our impact FAQ

Does 20% mean 20% of my checkout total?+

No. Our pledge is to contribute 20% of Artistic Birth Chart’s earnings, not 20% of the gross amount shown at checkout. Your order is not marked up with a separate donation fee.

Is my purchase a direct or tax-deductible donation?+

No. Your payment purchases an Artistic Birth Chart product. Artistic Birth Chart makes its contribution separately, so your order does not create a direct donation relationship or a charitable receipt from Akshaya Patra.

Which organisation does Artistic Birth Chart support?+

Our chosen beneficiary is The Akshaya Patra Foundation, an independent charitable trust that works with India’s PM POSHAN initiative and other food and education programmes.

Can I donate to Akshaya Patra directly?+

Yes. If you want to make a direct charitable donation, use Akshaya Patra’s official website. Any receipt or tax-benefit eligibility for a direct donation is governed by Akshaya Patra and applicable law.
