My Nonprofit Reviews
Steven R. Hamlin
Review for Mata Amritanandamayi Math, Kerala, , India
I saw lines of indigent women in India coming to the Ashram for their monthly charity pension checks. Warms the heart. I love transparency, nobody is hiding anything, everyone is invited to participate, from the ground up all the way to the top. I know the feeling when there is not full honesty in the air. A very familiar feeling that is not present at Amma events or charity activities.I have passed out socks to the homeless on skid row at Christmas time; I have helped raise money by preparing food to sell; so much love and unselfishness in the air, from the volunteers. That spirit cannot go wrong. This is a very specific and personal example; my sense of feeling such thing is quite refined.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
my role as a volunteer not a recipient. None of us get paid, and I can tell you, all of us have 1000% percent confidence that the money we raise will be used efficiently for the most worthy causes. This organization has no bureaucracy to drain funds.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
