Association for India's Development (AID) is a 501(C)(3) voluntary non-profit organization committed to promoting sustainable, equitable and just development in India, by working with grassroots organizations and movements in India. AID supports and initiates efforts in various interconnected spheres such as education,livelihood generation, natural resources, health, women's empowerment and social justice. Founded in 1991, AID has completed 966 projects covering 24 Indian states. Since its inception, AID has established 38 chapters in the United States, 12 chapters in India operated by 500 volunteers and supports over 100 ongoing projects. To support the various causes we pledge allegiance to, we organize various fund-raising efforts. Some of these efforts include working at food stalls during OSU football and basketball games and at concerts held on campus. While these efforts continue through the year, we organize a big fund-raiser annually, typically music or dance concerts. We also spread awareness about our organization and about the developmental initiatives and campaigns we support in India on campus and in the community. We also thoroughly review and learn about the developmental projects we support in India by being in contact with a person from the non-profit organization working at grassroots level.
Donations to AID are tax-deductible in the USA. It is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization with tax ID 04-3652609.
