Donation Policy
Last updated: June 23, 2026
This Donation Policy explains how the contributions made through Plant A Tree are used, tracked, and reported to donors.
1. Use of Funds
- Tree planting: sapling, soil preparation, and on-ground planting cost.
- Care & monitoring: water, protection, and growth tracking for up to 2 years.
- Operations: a small share supports technology, verification, and donor communication.
2. Transparency
Every donor receives a unique Tree ID, a digital certificate, and access to their dashboard showing the trees they have sponsored. Where available, we share GPS coordinates and growth updates from our planting partners.
3. Voluntary Contribution
Donations are voluntary. You are under no obligation to donate to access the public parts of the website. By donating you confirm that the funds are your own and used willingly.
4. Tax Benefits
Tax-deduction eligibility (such as 80G in India) is subject to applicable laws and our current registration status. Receipts will indicate whether your donation qualifies.
5. Misuse Prevention
Each UPI payment is manually verified before a tree is allocated. Suspicious or fraudulent transactions may be rejected without notice.
