These values ensure that all activities — from street plays to legal aid — remain selfless and service-oriented.

Courage

Empathy

Integrity

Commitment
Governance Structure & Accountability
Vijay Foundation follows a transparent and accountable governance framework aligned with statutory and ethical standards for public charitable trusts. Strategic oversight is provided by the Board of Trustees, supported by subject-matter experts, legal advisors, and program coordinators.
Decision-making prioritizes beneficiary impact, legal compliance, and financial prudence. All major programs are planned through need assessments, implemented with partner institutions, and reviewed through outcome-based evaluation. The foundation maintains detailed records of activities, beneficiaries, and expenditures, ensuring compliance with Income Tax regulations, CSR norms, and NITI Aayog reporting standards.
A strict zero administrative overhead policy ensures that donations are directed exclusively toward program implementation rather than operational expenses.
Legal Status and Compliance
Vijay Foundation is legally constituted as a Public Charitable Trust under the Indian Trusts Act. It holds 80G and 12A exemptions under the Income Tax Act, enabling donors to claim tax deductions. Its NITI Aayog registration (ID UP/2018/0198217) and CSR registration number (CSR00075840) ensure compliance with national oversight, making it eligible for corporate funding. The foundation upholds strict transparency and accountability: audited financials and activity reports are made available to donors, reflecting its commitment to good governance. Its reputation as a well-managed organization has earned it recognition among the top social service NGOs in the region.
