Overview

Mission

Mukti Mission Inc. raises awareness and provides prayer and financial pathways of support for Indian women and children at the Pandita Ramabai Mukti Mission in India ("Hope Healing Life"). Mukti Mission does not call our partners requesting donations. If you receive such a call, ask the person’s name and hang up. Mukti Mission will never ask (phone call or email) for your support of Mukti by sending cash, purchasing a gift card, using virtual currency, or by wire transfer. _Never trust wiring instructions sent via email._ Cyber criminals are hacking email accounts and sending emails with fake wiring instructions. These emails are convincing and sophisticated. _Always_ independently confirm wiring instructions in person or via a telephone call to a trusted and verified phone number. _Never_ wire money without double-checking that the wiring instructions are correct.

What it reported doing in 2025

Special programs - special programs fund core operating and project support for the pandita ramabai mukti mission in india so that residents and students receive food, shelter, medical and dental care, counseling, education, and vocational training. Financial resources support the main kedgoan campus ministries, including childrens and womens homes, special-needs care, village medical work, and school operations across marathi-medium, english-medium, and special-needs streams. Funds also underwrite desginated campus projects such as classroom and facility improvments, agricultural and dairy equipment that increase food sustainability for hundreds of residents daily, and year-end designated projects selected with indian leadership. The program serves orphaned, abandoned, abused, and impoverished women and children, including widows, unwed mothers, children at risk of trafficking, and persons with disabilities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 93% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
