S-234 How to seek financial help for doing some social work. These are my personal views.
1) Such help usually comes from unexpected people. People from whom we expect help usually say No.
2) Desire to do social work must be translated into a professional project report. It should state objects, sources of land or premises, costs of land or premises, costs of registration and legal and administrative expenses, sources of income for the project, number of paid employee needed and output of volume of social good it may generate.
3) Then the report must be brought to notice, through letters, of about 500 people who may be connected with similar social work, who may be interested and who may help....No emails, no Facebook messages, no WhatsApp messages. No pain, no gain. ....Posting 500 letters may be costly. Preparing project report may be costly. But no pain, no gain.
4) If even one of these person will show interest in your project, he will first verify about you from his own sources. Are you a reliable and competent person? This he will try to check out first. If he will see your selfish motives behind the project, he will just cool off and will show no further interest
5) I generally believe, that there is no shortage of charity giving people. They come from all religions. They have one common habit. They do not like to be misled. They do not like to be guided and advised by others about where they should give their charities.
6) If none of the 500 persons show interest in your project, then probably, time may not have come for your project.
