As a Section 8 nonprofit, MGF does not charge registration or membership fees to generate profit. Fees exist only to recover the operational costs of running the response system — the 24×7 monitoring centre, taluk coordinators, emergency dispatch, and member support. Every rupee is reinvested into keeping the network running.
When charitable funds allow, MGF may fully or partly subsidise membership and/or monthly fees after assessment for seniors who cannot pay — subject to fund availability, not guaranteed. See the fee FAQ for details. Fee FAQ
