<h1>Nonprofit press release raises legal risks over impact claims, permits, donor accounting, 80G compliance, consent and partnership contracts</h1> A national non-profit issued a promotional press release claiming large-scale, science-based water-conservation projects across multiple Indian states, listing quantitative impacts, community-led implementation, and collaboration with government and corporate partners. From a legal perspective the release functions as solicitous fundraising and publicity: potential issues include accuracy of impact claims, compliance with environmental and land-use permits, donor-fund accounting and tax-exempt status rules, informed consent for community interventions, and contractual terms with governmental or corporate partners. The release also includes a third-party distribution disclaimer by the press agency, limiting its editorial responsibility.
