At present, six or more requests per month have been processed. Apart from this, steps are also taken to provide immediate assistance to certain requests in urgent need. 100% of funds raised by the organization is used for charity. Since most of the members are Malayalis, most aid goes to Kerala. Because HelpSaveLife is a registered charity, donations in the US are 100 percent tax deductible based on (501)(c)(3) Income Tax Act.
Charitable activities are supported and upheld by the donations of helpful people. The continuous contributions of many volunteers drive the organization forward.
