Join The NICCE Foundation this summer as we take steps to bring education and a safe living environment to the children of Northeast India. We will embark on a 30 day journey to virtually walk from Washington, DC to Imphal, India, and back.
So many children in India are denied the opportunity for an education due to financial constraints and lack of resources. Our goal is to financially support the construction and operation of Christian children’s homes and schools in the rural villages of North India, allowing children to receive a proper education while still remaining close to their families. Why should a parent have to choose between their child’s education and keeping their family together?
Help The NICCE Foundation raise awareness by walking with us from DC to Imphal and back, showing that we can reach the kids of India one step at a time. Together, we can build hope.

ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION
NORTH INDIA CHRISTIAN CHILDRENS EDUCATION FOUNDATION
The North India Christian Children’s Education (NICCE) Foundation is a nonprofit corporation aimed at improving the lives of North Indian children and the families that love them.
Our goal is to financially support the construction and operation of Christian children’s homes and schools in the rural villages of North India, allowing children to receive a proper education while still
remaining close to their families. Why should a parent have to choose between their child’s education and keeping their family together?
The NICCE Foundation has a solution and together, we can build hope.
Funds raised will help build and run schools and children’s homes in North East India in order to provide an education for children in need.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Charity Footprints?
Charity Footprints is a social enterprise that connects fitness and charitable giving. We empower people just like you, to get fit & give back.
Our Virtual Races allow non-profits to challenge their patrons to run, walk or ride and raise funds just as they would in a fundraising walkathon. The best part - charities save over 45% in event and logistical costs. So, the dollars that you pay to register or fundraise, go farther.
What is the campaign registration fee?
Campaign registration fee is the amount that you'll need to pay to enroll in this virtual race. This fee (less transaction charges) will go to the non-profit running this campaign as a donation.
The registration fee along with the funds raised through your individual fundraising page will enable the non-profit to fund various programs and pursue their organization's mission.
How can I create my fundraising page?
Well, you wouldn't have to create a separate fundraising page. Once you register for this campaign, we'll give you the link to your fundraising page.
If you workout indoors (treadmill, elliptical, stationary bike etc.), you can upload your workouts here.
I am an international donor (non-US), what are my donation charges and tax-deductibility?
All donations are made in US dollars, so the donations may be levied an exchange rate fee via your bank. Donors will want to connect with their bank to determine exactly what that fee may be. Additionally, international donors will need to reach out to a tax professional to discuss if and how tax deductibility will apply to their donation.
Who can sponsor my fundraising efforts?
The short answer is - everyone. The fundraising research shows that the number one reason for people not donating is that they weren't asked to.
That said, there are things you can do to attract people to sponsor you. Adding a picture to your fundraising page, telling potential donors why this cause is so personal to you, sharing your fundraising page on social media, email, and chat groups.
Last, if your employer has a gift matching program, check with the human resources department to support your favorite cause as well.
Who can I contact if I need help?
You can contact us any time if you need help. We love hearing from our users so please don't hesitate to write to us about issues, suggestions, or to just say hi. You can also contact the non-profit administrator directly if you would like.
