action northeast trust), Assam India. The donation also entitles them
to Tax exepmtions under Sec 501 (c) 3 in the US.

National Bank numbered 1201000100113620, which is the only one authorized by the
Home Ministry for the purpose.
Trust rules do not allow for carrying over more than 15% of the receipts in one
year to the next financial year unless the money is specifically donated to the
Corpus. We are trying to raise a Corpus that will allow us to initiate work at
short notice without having to look for donors in emergencies and will also help
us prevent wasteful expenses at the end of the Financial year just to meet the
trust rules. If you could include a letter along with your contribution saying
that "the donation is made to the Corpus of the ant", it will help us to use the
money according to our convenience and avoid wasteful expenditure.
For those of you in the US, you may send the donation to Indians for Collective Action
with Purpose marked ‘for the corpus of
the ant.’
It will also help you get a Tax Exemption under US laws. Please contact
nihitk@hotmail.com for the same.
If you would like to keep in touch and be
contacted regarding future activities being planned by
the ant please join our mailing list so that we can keep you
informed about all aspects of our work.
