Option 2
₹10 lakh refundable security deposit
A lower-entry commitment route for organisations that may not fund the full infrastructure setup themselves — while still showing seriousness to serve children.
Under Option 2, the NGO provides a stipulated ₹10 lakh refundable security deposit. This is a commitment mechanism, not a programme fee. It helps ensure centres are not opened casually and then stopped, which would disrupt vulnerable children.
For a genuinely committed partner, the deposit is intended to be refundable under agreed terms after the required implementation period — not a permanent cost. Exact release conditions are set out in the formal programme documentation.
No Hungry Child’s intention is not money. It is to serve children through the right people. If you cannot arrange the deposit from your own resources, you may enquire about financial support — approval is never automatic.
